Tips to Write a Goodbye Letter to Best friend

A best friend is an unforgettable part of once life, and we never want to get apart from him/her. There are many affairs which separate friends, though not emotionally but geographically. When you are going away from your friend, it’s good to write a goodbye letter to him/her. The letter will not only say farewell but will also give a special feeling when he/she will know how important he/she is for you. This letter is not only restricted to a best friend; it could be anyone you love, such as your parents, grandparents etc.

State all the wonderful times you spent together and told them that you will cherish those moments for the rest of your life. The letter is informal and should have an emotional tone to it. Tell them how important the relationship is between you two. Mention that the both of you will stay in touch. This letter would be memorable for that friend, or family member to whom you are sending this letter.

Subject: Goodbye!

Dear Samantha,

I am writing this letter with the mixed feelings of joy and sorrow. As you know, I have applied in some MNC’s and waiting for their reply. So I want to tell you that I got a joining letter from one of them.

Toronto tech is among the top-notch IT companies in the USA and is among my dream companies. Today when I received the joining letter, I felt to fly high. They want me to join within 15 days. The time is short, and I need to prepare for many things. I am excited and happy about this but also very sad because I am going away from my best friend.

It is tuff for me because since childhood we were together and you always shared every moment of our life. Even if I try, I will never be able to find a friend like you. Your friendship is my treasure for whole life, and even if I am away from you, I will always be in touch with you.

I will send you my new contact details as soon as I get. I hope to see you in Frankfurt and want you to be with me. With all the memories of our friendship, sayonara! Cheers to our friendship.

May Lord bless you!

Your friend,
Damian
