Sample Letter to Invite Chief Guest for Farewell Ceremony

A farewell ceremony is conducted to gather at one place for one last time before parting ways, to greet each other good wishes for the future and to say goodbye heartily.

There can be different types of farewell ceremonies in an educational institution. It could be organised for the students, teachers, staff members, or head of the institution. You can write a letter of invitation to an outsider for honouring the occasion with his presence as the chief guest. Otherwise, you can invite an insider (a teacher) to be the chief guest.

Here are examples of such letters of invitations to persons seeking their consent and presence to act as the Chief Guest for farewell ceremony of teachers.
