It's a re-org or 'shake-up' (!).

Originally posted by Willy Win View PostSo what do I say to other potential clients? The truth? I just get the impression that clients and agencies alike become rather suspicious when you explain your contract was terminated early due to a re-org. Sounds like a lame reason. Another contractor friend of mine advised I just say my contract was a 3 month one to avoid questions but I'm not so sure about telling porkies...See You Next TuesdayComment

The client decided they didn't need your particular skills.
Now move on and start looking for a new contract. You have already been told what to say by other posters if asked why your contract ended."You’re just a bad memory who doesn’t know when to go away" JRComment

OP seems a bit snowflakey by wanting a reason / justification for being canned.
Pick yourself up, dust yourself down, find a new gig and carry on invoicing.
Rinse and repeat.

Best this is to accept it with professional grace and wrap everything up as well as you can for a handover. This is usually remembered. If you need to sound off about it, this is a good enough place if you don't mind the old man giving you a hard time, but din';t do it on client site.
