A farewell letter to staff is written by a boss or an employer who is leaving the workplace due to what so ever reason. The reason for leaving the office could be due to retirement or transfer or promotion to another branch. Whatever be the reason, the employer or the boss ought to write a farewell letter to the staff to bid them a goodbye. The boss or head has been with the staff for a long time, so it will be a good gesture if he writes a farewell letter to his staff.
This is an official letter, but it need not be too formal. It is a goodbye letter, and so it can contain all the good memories and experiences. Try not to be negative about anything you mention in the letter. Make the letter error-free and stick to the format of a formal letter.
