Best Relieving Letter Samples
A relieving letter is an official communication or document issued by a company to their employee.
Following are top 10 tips to write a relieving letter
1. The relieving letter should always be issued from the organization’s letterhead only.
2. The relieving letter is usually addressed 'To Whomsoever It May Concern', until the employee has a specific person to be addressed.
3. The relieving letter has to mention and begin with the resignation of the employee and that it has been accepted by the company.
4. The employee post held in the last tenure should be mentioned in the relieving letter.
5. The relieving letter should always talk positively and give credit to the employee’s performance.
6. The relieving letter should always mention the date of joining and the tenure of the employee held in the organization.
7. The relieving letter should also end positively wishing the employee more success for the future.
8. The relieving letter should be written in simple English yet the language and tone should be kept professional. The relieving letter should never use slang words.
9. The relieving letter should always be a letter of communication to help the employee go ahead in their career and never a road block to get more career offers.
10. The relieving letter should always be issued at the time of the employee leaving the company. Any delay in the issue will only dampen the employee’s career pursuits.
