Wanted to share the email I have stashed to send to my work colleagues when the time comes to pull the retirement trigger.
I plan to not say we're retiring to avoid a whole lot of questions, instead we're taking a "sabbatical" which is a pretty common thing for people our age to do (52 & 49). This approach also leaves the door open for me to be able to come back if I really want to.
[FONT="]Dear Colleagues,[/FONT]

[FONT="]I’d like to share with you that I will be leaving [megacorp] [/FONT][FONT="]at the end of this month to take a long-planned sabbatical. My husband Steve and I have plans to volunteer our time and to travel the world. And while we don’t know if our sabbatical will last a year or for the rest of our lives, I hope we stay in touch.[/FONT]
[FONT="] [/FONT]
[FONT="]I’ll miss working with you, so it’s with mixed emotions that I say “until next time” instead of goodbye. [/FONT]

[FONT="]Sincerely,[/FONT]
