TechWhirl (TECHWR-L) is a resource for technical writing and technical communications professionals of all experience levels and in all industries to share their experiences and acquire information.
For two decades, technical communicators have turned to TechWhirl to ask and answer questions about the always-changing world of technical communications, such as tools, skills, career paths, methodologies, and emerging industries. The TechWhirl Archives and magazine, created for, by and about technical writers, offer a wealth of knowledge to everyone with an interest in any aspect of technical communications.
You've answered your own question. You work for the agency, not for the
client. If they offer you a different assignment, presumably they want
you to accept it; it is their responsibility (not yours) to satisfy the
terms of their contract with the current client. Let them handle the
notice to your current client. You do what you have to about wrapping up
loose ends, knowledge transfer, etc.; shake hands with everyone; let
them take you out lunch; and move on.
