In reply to Kevin. The competition of an internship? I think you mean "completion." It's fine but unnecessary

Is it appropriate to write personal letters to certain members (obviously not all) of your team on the competition of an internship?

In reply to ninja11. Not really, farewell email is not necessary in that case

Just got the news that I will be changing teams within my bank and remember reading this article. Do you think it is necessary that I send a farewell email to my team notifying them that I will be leaving them soon (start dumping my work) and some thankful words (appreciate their teaching, etc)? the thing is I will be still in the same building so not sure if this is a must?

In reply to Drov.

If it’s just you two together in the elevator I would probably say something… but don’t start by saying, “Oh hey, my name is” either find something funny to say (based on news, recent happenings, TV, sports, etc.) and lead in with that or if you can’t find anything I would just say, “I don’t think we’ve met, I’m ______”

You have to play it by ear… some guys are more approachable than others, if it’s someone who clearly doesn’t want to talk, then forget about it.

I know this sounds a little too dumb too ask but if you run into a senior level person or a junior level person for that matter who doesn’t know you in an elevator/any setting where you are expected to be together for 2 or 3 minutes together with them not having anything else to do would you recommend formally introducing yourself at such occasions or just giving that smile. I wouldn’t have asked this but I saw you mention that you don’t look each other in the eye in banking

Letter below was sent to his team:

Dearest Lehman,

By the time you read this, I’ll be gone. I’m sorry to be doing this but
it’s for the best. I know it might come as a shock to you, especially as
things have been going so well, but I just needed some space. I think
you’re swell, but we’re not meant to be. We’re just not that compatible.
You’re a Cancer – I’m a Sagittarius. You like spending long nights
together and eating delivery food every night – I prefer seeing our
other friends once in a while and cooking at home.

It’s not you.

It’s me.

I’ve found someone else to love, and I’m going to Vancouver to be with
her. It’s the small things that she does. We share our favourite cereal
– Cap’n Crunch – but you were always eating the Credit Crunch. She likes
to watch her waistline – you were always more focused on your bottom
line.

We had some good times. We can totally be friends. Just don’t come to me
crying at 5am like you used to. I won’t come over to see you. The only
models I’ll be reviewing for the next 12 months will be 911s.

I won’t even make an issue of the money you owe me.

Take care of yourself.

Yours sincerely,
