need help with sample good bye emails

[FreshPrince]

I've had 2 people leave on me and I need help writing a good bye email. I already have one done, but I don't want both to sound the same...does anyone have a sample that I can leech off of?

here's the one I did for the 1st guy...

Everyone,

I am sad to inform you that John Doe - XYZ's Network Administrator will be leaving the company. His last day will be Feb. 03, 2006.

Over the past year, XYZ's computer network infrastructure has grown and improved tremendously. John has been there every step of the way and has had both visible to invisible and tangible to intangible contributions to the betterment of our network. He has been an extremely valuable asset to the company and will be missed. I wish him luck in his future endeavors.

We booted XYZ to the curb for suxoring...you could be next..

Sincerely,

Management

FreshPrince, corporate vice president, Strategy and Technology and the company?s chief technology officer (CTO), has informed me of his decision to retire effective March 31, 2006, after 25 years of dedicated service to the company. FreshPrince, who has served in his present position since April 2003, oversees the ongoing development of the company?s strategic framework and supports our efforts in positioning for long-term growth, and is responsible for facilitating companywide initiatives in technology and program development.

FreshPrincewas a man and a citizen of the world. As such, he was governed by the laws of physics. What we see before us is not or ever was really him, but merely his shell that contained the life-force or energy that makes us what we truly are. Science states that energy can neither be created or destroyed. Energy moves at the speed of light. Einstein stated that as anything approaches the speed of light its mass becomes infinite. So you can see, FreshPrinceis not gone. He has become infinite and as such surrounds us with his self and lives within our hearts both now and forever.

Please join me in thanking FreshPrince for his outstanding contributions to our company, and wishing him well in his upcoming retirement.
