Writing Tips for an Awesome Farewell Card
Be personal: Add something that the two of you have in common or an inside joke.
Be honest: Even a simple message can make all the difference if it’s an honest expression of how you feel.
Wish them luck: A good vibe does count.
Sign off warmly: “Take care,” “Stay awesome,” or “Best wishes” all make fine closers.
