My Farewell Email

This is the farewell email that I sent out to my colleagues and friends from my workplace. One of my colleagues thought that the poem was written by me, until she saw the JRR Tolkien credit. Well, if only I possess 10% of the GREAT Tolkien's literary skills and creativity, that would be sufficient!


Dear colleagues and friends,

I would like to take a moment to let you know that I will be leaving my current position in xxxxxx and today will be my last day.

Thus, I would like to take this opportunity to thank all of you for making my stay here a truly memorable experience. Despite my rather short tenure here, I am blessed to have the opportunity to work with you. Thank you for the support, guidance and encouragement you have provided me during my time here.

With kindest regards and best wishes for the future in all that you do.

Weng

"The Road goes ever on and on,
Down from the door where it began.
Now far ahead the road has gone,
And I must follow, if I can,
Pursuing it with eager feet,
Until it joins some larger way,
Where many paths and errands meet.
And wither then? I cannot say."

Bilbo Baggins, The Hobbit by J.R.R. Tolkien
