Savage / Roast Farewell / Going Away Wishes for Client
Finally saying goodbye to *that* client? While traditional farewells are sweet, sometimes you need a message with a bit more... edge. If you've shared enough laughs (and perhaps a few exasperated sighs) to warrant a playful roast, you've come to the right place. These savage going-away wishes are perfect for clients who can take a joke and appreciate your unique sense of humor.
We're genuinely going to miss you... having to explain things twice. Best of luck finding someone else with our infinite patience!
Your departure leaves a void in our inbox that we're secretly thrilled about. Just kidding! Mostly. Farewell, and don't be a stranger (unless it's during our busy season).

So long! We'll miss the thrill of wondering what new 'urgent' request would land on our desk at 4:58 PM on a Friday. Enjoy your new playground!
We're not crying, *you're* crying... because you're leaving behind the only people who truly understood your 'vision'. Good luck out there!
On your departure, we'd like to extend our sincerest gratitude... for not breaking us completely. May your next chapter be slightly less 'challenging'.
Congratulations on your next adventure! We've already started the office pool on how long it takes them to figure out your preferred shade of 'off-white'.
It's hard to say goodbye when we've grown so accustomed to predicting your every curveball. We'll miss the mental gymnastics. Don't forget us when you're famous (or infamous).
Common questions
Is it ever appropriate to send a 'savage' farewell to a client?‹
Absolutely, but with extreme caution! This approach is only suitable for clients with whom you've built a genuinely strong, informal rapport and a shared sense of humor. If there's any doubt they'll appreciate the playful roast, stick to a traditional, polite farewell. Know your audience!
How can I deliver a roast message without offending the client?‹
Context is key. Deliver it verbally in a casual setting (like a farewell lunch) where you can gauge their reaction and clarify intent with a smile. If sending in writing, ensure it's clearly prefaced with an acknowledgment of your close relationship and an explicit 'just kidding!' or similar disarming phrase. A personalized, genuine compliment mixed in can also soften the blow.
What if the client doesn't get the joke?‹
This is the primary risk. If you suspect they might not understand it's a joke, it's best to err on the side of caution and choose a more conventional, appreciative message. A misunderstood roast can damage a professional relationship, even if they're leaving. Only use these wishes when you're 100% confident in their ability to laugh along.
