This may sounds stupid, but I also end up writing pretty much a one liner, any hints and tips or examples of good resignation letters? And I don't mean like the one Jason posted up a while back!

Cheers, Alex

I never know what to put either so it's a nice, polite, short one-liner every time

what would scooby do

Keep it short, you can add a line saying "I've very much enjoyed my time working at xxxx"

depends on circumstances I guess..

"I'd like to say it's been fun....... but I can't"

Gordo

just state the facts (as in the example above) - don't put anything pointless and do NOT leave on bad terms (even if you hate them, which I appreciate you haven't said you do ) - too many examples of people regretting being silly when leaving jobs. You may want them as a reference at some point etc....

try to include "sputum filled pieces of distended rectum" somewhere in there

Gordo,

Yeah, know what you mean - I've opted for one off i-resign.com, its polite etc...

But I like some of the funny ones above, but would never use them, as I require employer references for the new job, once start date agreed.

Rgds, Alex

I wrote mine a couple of weeks back...here it is...

Dear XXXXX

TERMINATION OF EMPLOYMENT

Following our recent discussions and in accordance with my conditions employment, please accept this letter as my formal one months notice of resignation from my post as Executive Director within the practice.

My employment will therefore terminate on Friday 29th August 2003.

The reason for my leaving is that I have been offered a position within another organisation that I feel will continue to offer me the relevant experience I require and is potentially more suited to my future aspirations at this moment in time.

You will no doubt be aware that my decision has been an extremely difficult one and this reflects upon the wealth of experience and excellent opportunities that I have been afforded during my relatively short time at XXXXX.

I would like to take this opportunity to thank both XXXXX and yourself, who have provided more than enough support to enable me to take many forward steps in my career since joining. Needless to say, my time with the firm has also been very enjoyable.

Clearly I will now use my best endeavours to ensure that all loose ends are tied and I am prepared to assist as you see fit during my notice period.

Best wishes for the future.


Yours sincerely

Alex I think So long, and thanks for all the fish is a good one.

I think the last one I did was something like "Dear XXXX, I wish to inform you that as of (insert date) I shall be terminating my employment with you"

short sweet, to the point

or

"I'm outter here suckers!'

If you're gonna go. go with style. try this.
Dear XXXXX

TERMINATION OF EMPLOYMENT

Following our recent discussions and in accordance with my conditions employment, please accept this letter as my formal one months notice of resignation from my post as Executive Director within the practice.

My employment will therefore terminate on Friday 29th August 2003.

The reason for my leaving is that I am fed to the back teeth of you wife coming into the office on a daily basis and unashamedly offering sexual favours to myself and other members of the company, both male and female. When I refuse the bitter recriminations are too much to bare and the language she uses would make a pimp blush.

You will no doubt be aware that your wife is a nymphomaniac and and while her seemingly limitless promiscuity may suit your current state of affairs, I'm afraid I can no longer keep up with her deviant and profoundly worrying sexual appetite.

Therefore I wish to terminate my employment with your company while I still have the use of my genitalia. Quite frankly, I am stunned you manage to walk into the office on a daily basis.

I would like to take this opportunity to thank both your wife and yourself, who have provided for various needs. Namely, your wife for providing me with a near enclopedic knowledge into sexual deviency and youself for stopping her from killing me by "taking up the slack" when you went home with her. Needless to say, my time with the firm has also been, an experience.

Best wishes for the future.


Yours sincerely
