Document background
A Farewell Letter is an essential professional document used when an employee is departing from an organization in Malaysia. While not legally required under Malaysian employment law, it serves as a formal communication tool that helps maintain professional relationships and ensure smooth transitions. The letter typically announces the departure date, expresses appreciation for the employment opportunity, highlights key achievements, and provides necessary handover information. In the Malaysian business environment, where professional relationships and courtesy are highly valued, a Farewell Letter should strike a balance between formality and warmth, while respecting local business customs and etiquette. This document is particularly important in maintaining good relationships for future professional references and networking opportunities.
