Learn English – Quitting a job – email subject “I’m moving on”

word-choiceword-request

I have resigned and I'm now looking for a suitable email subject. The email is intended for a working group I was part of. I have already written an email to my collegues. This one needs to be a bit more formal. Be aware that many recipients are non-native English speakers, so it needs to be clear without ambiguity.

Current version: I'm moving on – thank you

While I'm quite fine with I'm moving on according to the second definition in Wiktionary, I just want to know if there is a similar/better word to describe the same thing. I wonder whether I'm moving on would primariliy be considered as a relocation, which isn't the fact. I still live at the same place, I'm just changing the company.

I also don't like to say I'm leaving, because that sounds to negative.

I'm advancing or I'm progressing makes me think of a standstill in the old company, which I don't want to be understood.

Best Answer

Considering the audience aren't native english speakers, one or two people not too firm in the language might be irritated by "moving on", so make sure you express what's going on in the email's content, I suppose.

"Moving on" by itself is a very good choice, though, especially as it sounds a tad more positive than plain "Leaving", as user8543 mentioned.
