A relieving mail is sent to employees to let them know that they have been relieved from all their duties and responsibilities. This is usually done after the employee has submitted a letter of resignation and has served the notice period. It is more like a formal letter given to the employee just before leaving the company.
A lot of companies also ask for a relieving letter from new hires before they join the organization. This is to ensure that the new employee has no pending dues with the past company and also indicates the time of resignation.
An ideal relieving email/letter would contain certain necessary information such as duration of tenure, joining date, salary, bonus, and benefits, and designations served. This mail also serves as a formal experience certificate from the company which would be used by the employee to prove her/his experience duration.
