The AVP, Editorial Director of Gardening for Martha Stewart just left, and sent this as his farewell e-mail....it's magic...
I have been working on this farewell email for some time, but I can never settle on the right tone. So using all the past farewell emails as inspiration, I am sending you this multiple choice version:
I am so (sad/sorry/ecstatic) to be leaving (MSO/Living/Marthaworld). You are such a (great/amazing/intelligent/talented/aggravating) group of people. I have (learned/laughed/cried) so much in the past thirteen years, four months and six days. I will continue to be (inspired/awestruck/infuriated) by the (beautiful/amazing/unattainable) images that you present in the pages of the magazine each month. I will (truly miss/forever be haunted by/never lack for dinner table conversation after) working with you.
Please keep in touch: andrew.beckman1761@gmail.com and on Facebook (where I will never post my status). If you are ever in Portland (please look me up/join me for a drink/stay away from me and all of my loved ones).
