Dear [Name],
The exit interview was far better than I imagined it would be.
And it was all thanks to you.
I was caught off guard but in a pleasant way when I was informed that it would be you who would be interviewing me. I wasn't expecting that!
I must also thank you for patiently listening to what I had to say. That fact alone has increased the respect that I have always had for you.
As you are aware, I quit because of personal and professional differences that I have had for quite some time now with a couple of my more influential colleagues.
However, my time at the agency in general was an experience that I wouldn't mind reliving.
I have been fortunate to have met some great people and professionals at the agency and also on the other side of the table. I also think I have matured as a person and professional and was flattered to know that you think the same.
I do hope we can keep in touch and exchange notes every now and then.
I wish you and the team the very best.
And thank you for making my exit from the agency as smooth and dignified as it was.
Sincerely,
[Your signature]
