Dear Mr. Doe:

It is with both regret and anticipation that I submit this letter of resignation, effective December 29, 1999. I have accepted a position with CDE Company, an opportunity to further my current career goals and achieve growth within the new company through a supervisory role.

It has been my genuine pleasure to work for ABC Company during these last four years. I have enjoyed working with ABC Company's fine staff of professionals and colleagues, and will miss my associations here. I wish you and ABC Company continued success in all your endeavors.


Note: If this company is one you may need again, whether in continued work or networking, or you desire continued allegiance, consider offering help in interviewing, hiring, or training of your replacement. For example:
If I may be of any assistance in the hiring process or training of my replacement, please know that I will gladly make myself available to this effort during the next four weeks.


Note: If you're leaving this employment for reasons other than accepting a new position, you may be honest in your response, but, again, avoid negative statements. Always refer to the positive things you are moving toward rather than the negative things you're leaving behind.

Other examples for cause of resignation include:
I have decided to take this time to evaluate my current goals and investigate new opportunities....
I have decided to further my education in pursuit of (degree or future position)....
I have decided to change the course of my current career goals and will be pursuing a new direction in _______....
End your letter without closing the door on the future:
Thank you for allowing me to serve ABC Company.
Again, I wish ABC Company continued
Sincerely,
Your Name

it all depends if it's on good terms or bad terms

Dear Boss ;) :

As of today, I am resigning from [company name]; however, I wish to remain with the company for two weeks more to complete unfinished projects and tie up lose ends.

I would like to express my thanks to this great company and my fellow co-workers. The success I have had here has opened new doors for me -- it would be foolish for me not to seize these new opportunities.

I would like to remain associated with the company as a consultant; I can offer my services after hours or on the weekends.

I wish continued success to [name of company] and its team members. I will miss you all.

Sincerely,
tupacboy

In the past my resignation letters have looked like this:

Dear So-and-so

Thank you,

You could always walk into your bosses office and say... sorry, but I'm gonna take off after ________. Of course, it kinda helped that my last boss was a real nice person and that it took 3 people to replace me. ;)

[tupacboy]

Dear ?

It is with much regret that I must resign to pursue a career with a much younger crowd. I have in my mind confirmed my real inner feelings so :-

At first I was trained
I was certified
Kept thinking I could never work
without _ _ E by my side
But I spent so many nights
thinking how you did me wrong
I grew strong
I learned how to carry on (Literally!)
and so I quit
from _ _ _ _ _

I just walked in to find you here
with that sad look upon your face
I should have changed my stupid job
I should have written a better CV
If I had known for just one second
I would be quitting _ _ E.
Go now go
I'm out the door
Just turn around now
'cause you're not working anymore

Weren't you the one who tried to tempt me with _ _ _
You think I'd crumble
You think I'd give in and lie
Oh no, not I
I will resign
as long as I know how to code
I know I will stay in line
I've got all my life to live
I've got all my brains to give
and I'll resign

It took all the strength I had not to disappear
kept trying hard to mend the pieces of my broken career
and so I spent oh so many nights just feeling sorry for myself
I used to try
Now I hold my breath and Lie!

And now you see
Somebody new
I'm not that chained up little person
Still working alongside you
and so you felt like dropping in
and just expect me to email
now I'm saving all my knowledge
for someone who's paying me,
........more money!!!!!

- I Will Resign!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Regards,

OR

Dear X,

After just over a year of mortgaging my soul to your infernal regime, I have finally come to my senses and realised that your poisoned chalice of a pay packet is no longer worth the agony required to work for it, nor is it worth the sacrifice of my time, morals and any kind of life outside of work I might dare consider having.

This was a relatively straightforward decision complicated solely by the fear that my future career might suffer from my leaving without another job to go onto. However, you will be gratified to know that your regular motivational memoes have finally motivated me to do something for once, namely tender my resignation. The senseless assassination of the English language, criminal overuse of punctuation marks, bad grammar, horrifying spelling and forced joviality which are apparently meant to make us into more skilled, enthusiastic and hungry workers have finally taken their toll. It's too late for me, but if there is any tender feeling in that cold, black piece of rock that passes for your heart, take pity on my soon to be ex-colleagues and take note of the following.

Your and you're are two separate words, not alternate spellings of the same word. Same applies to their, there and they're.

Affect is a verb. Effect is a noun. Note the difference.

Is it really necessary to end every sentence with five punctuation marks?

There is no justification on this earth for fifteen exclamation marks in a row.

Acronyms and jargon are no substitute for the ability to think.

Knowing obscure facts about the company and what all the terms you and your superiors invent at your little away-days is no substitute for being able to do the job properly. My colleagues would appreciate it if you stopped chastising us for not knowing what KPI stands for, and acting as if ignorance of that fact renders us incapable of doing anything right.

Repeating the phrase "sort your life out" every time you see us does not count as effective management support.

In closing, I would also like to point out that losing some weight, dropping the mockney accent and acquiring some real interpersonal skills (as opposed to what the latest management textbooks tell you employees appreciate) may well help you retain employees, acquire a clue and possibly even a life, and who knows, maybe even lose your virginity one day. But until then, you'll remain just another 21 year old arts graduate with no skills who's been shunted into management because it means you have fewer peers to piss off and those peers are all busy working in their own departments well away from you.

Farewell and good riddance from your elder and better,

Sincerely,

Disgruntled Employee of the Month

This is what my younger brother just did. He was scheduled to work but he had had enough of the crap from his job and the preferential scheduling. As such, about 15 minutes before he was scheduled to show, he calls up and ask to speak with the head of his department. The guy gets on and my brother says, He Mr.X can I leave a message for Ms. Nasty (the new Manager). Mr. X says, sure whats the message. My brother: Tell her to GO FOCK HERSELF. You got that. (Click)

Not that I recommend it, but kinda funny in a sad way.
