Before I close my laptop, I wanted to send a quick note to thank each of you for all your contributions to your team, and for your energy and enthusiasm, you bring to the team. I have been astonished by what we have been able to accomplish together and will be cheering from outside for you.

As we discussed in our last meeting, [New Manager] will be taking over, and I know you are in exceptional hands.

I have already sent each of you a connection request on LinkedIn if we were not already connected. I hope to stay in touch.

Best,
