ANNOUNCEMENT OF RETIREMENT OF LONG STANDING EMPLOYEE

Dear Felix

It is with mixed emotions that I am announcing the retirement of our [STATE POSITION, ex. Sales Manager], [NAME, ex. Bill Williams].

[BRIEFLY STATE EMPLOYEE’S PROFESSIONAL HISTORY, ex. Bill has been with us for twenty-seven years. He began work here as a back room clerk and had a very successful period as a sales representative before assuming the responsibility of Sales Manager].

Although we will all miss [FIRST NAME, ex. Bill], he has worked hard all of his career and has earned the opportunity to enjoy more time with his family and grandchildren.

Please join me in wishing [FIRST NAME, ex. Bill] all the best in his retirement.

Regards
Lydia
