Türkan Akdeniz’s Farewell Message for 20 Years of Corporate Business Life:
“My dear colleagues,
Here I am ending my 20 years of banking career as of today.
Considering the fact that history is hidden in the ‘moment’, I always worked giving my heart into my work and emphasizing the value of time to myself, to the teams I worked with and that the time lost can never be recuperated.
I took my steps with belief and I ran after the achievements which seemed impossible. I was not afraid to go beyond the borders; I worked believing that refraining from trying in life would not take me anywhere.
I am so glad that; when I turn back and look at my career of more than 20 years, I see that I have always had success in different positions I served and that I left behind traces of my success in each one of my duties.
It’s time now.
Farewell. God bless you.
Türkan AKDENİZ
Success follows each leader, who looks behind and sees a team integrated with himself.

Some of the letters received from the colleagues after the farewell message….
My Dear Manager,
First of all, I was always and will always be proud to have worked with you, I feel very lucky for this. Furthermore, I am sorry for those teams which did not have the chance to work with such a leader like yourself in this sector, your message is very honorable, meaningful and to the point. When read, it flashes before one’s eyes, leaves a sweet smile, and happiness! And leaves sadness in some. I think it would be enough for you to know that I also belong to the group of crybabies in suits who heard that you are leaving.
With my best regards.

Hello Ms. Türkan.
I am one of those people who had the chance to work with you, even for a short period of time. When I first took the job I had the chance to improve myself with your support and orientation.
When I saw your mail, I recalled 4 years ago when we had a meeting with you. I think you would never forget my name because of your son.
It is not possible to read this letter and not to be touched.
I hope we also have similar things to write about after 20 years.
Take care.
Let health and happiness always be with you
With love and respect…

My dear master;
although you would not remember me much, we met many times during the time I was the marketing manager and we had small chats. Each time, I ended such chats adoring the power you accommodate in yourself… And each time, I added many things to myself with respect to leadership by your inspiration…
Please give your blessings…
We need people like you nowadays…
With my regards.

Ms. Türkan,
Your mail, which I received in the morning as soon as I came, gave me a deep shock… Following the term we worked together, although I could not continue in your team, even being under the same roof was acceptable for me… As you also indicated, you are leaving good things behind you… During the term we worked with you, I don’t know the extent of my reflection in you, but you are a person whom I respect very much and very comfortable to work with and a person whom I value very much.
I hope when you say it’s time now, this is a decision taken being aware of how much you are loved and knowing there is much work to do… If this decision of you which made me sad has a plan to make you happy, certainly this would also make me happy…
Briefly, I would like to say that, I am very happy to know you. I hope the memories, which bring a smile to your face when remembered, bring big hopes to your heart.
I hope your future life would be very happy and healthy…
With my love and regards…

Hello My Master,
One side of my heart feels the pain because you are leaving our community and the other side of my heart feels the pride of knowing you and working with you. Your existence always was a support for me. Even if I am not beside you, knowing that you are always beside me always encouraged me, and widened my horizons. I took firmer steps towards future based on what we learned from you.
