text: farewell message? i am leaving a large law firm which i've been for a year, for greener pastures, there are people whom i'm close with, there are mentors, and there are those whom i never spoke with. i would like to express my gratitude towards my benefactors, yet at the same time send a veiled message that i am disappointed at certain bosses who have broken their promises.  if anyone has similar experience, and an e-mail farewell message of such nature, i would be grateful if you could share it with me. better still if it comes in the form of a poem, or part of the message is a poem. thanks. first of all can you phrase things correctly?  if you don't know how to use the word "whom" then don't use it, my goodness!!!!  second of all do not insult your former bosses, i would imagine that in your line of work you will eventually come across them again and you don't want to have a stain on your name.
