Dear {colleague, boss, or supervisor},
I am so sorry for leaving you in the lurch. When I quit my job, it was due to {furthering career/lifestyle shift/etc.} I truly wish that the rest of the team wasn’t collateral damage.
However, I’m confident that everyone else will fill the gap well, and in no time at all you won’t even think of me, your former worker! I’m kidding but I’m also not kidding. It’s been great to work with everyone, {something about shared professional mission and/or office camaraderie}. I hope that we keep in touch.
Thanks so much for the {card/party/gold watch/etc.}. I really appreciate it.
Again, please forgive me for leaving! I wish the best for you as I hope you do for me.
Sincerely,
{Name}
