Dear [Recipient's name]:

Yesterday I woke up and realized that this is the worst career experience I've ever had. Therefore, I'm officially notifying you of my resignation from [company name]. My last day will be today.

This company has many problems. [insert problems here]

On top of that, I can't stand to work for you any longer. You, alone, have been a constant source of pain and suffering for me ever since I started this job. I can't understand how you made it this far in the professional community.

Today is a great day for me. I will never have to see, hear or listen to you ever again. Goodbye, and good-riddance!

Warmest Regards,

[Your Signature]

And once you've handed it in contact HR and ask for an exit interview - it will be with an HR person and you can say EXACTLY what you want to about the company and your boss etc etc - and it will be brought up in their appraisals :cool:

Dear [Recipient's name]:

Thank you for the opportunity to work at [company name]. I have learned a lot during my time here. I truly appreciate your guidance and friendship during my time employed.

However, the time has come for me to move on, and I start a degree course at [insert uni] in [insert month]. This letter is to formally announce my resignation from [company name], starting today. My last day will be [two weeks from today].

Throw in something about potential holiday work too - although you hate them you might need them!

Dear

It is with regret that I am writing to you to give formal notice of my resignation. My last working day will be 12 June 2004.

I have really enjoyed working for W H Smiths but unfortunately due to the pressure of my college timetable and holiday commitments I am unable to commit to work requirements.

Yours faithfully

Quickly typed it up and came up with the following:

Dear :
As required by my contract of employment, I hereby give you four weeks' notice of my intention to leave my position as Customer Service Advisor. I shall end my employment as of the week ending and including Sunday 12th September 2004.
I have decided to realise my professional and personal goals by accepting a formal offer to study for a Law Degree at the University of the West of England, Bristol starting in late September. This was not an easy decision and took a lot of consideration but I believe it is an exciting step forward and one that I hope you will understand and support. Please be assured that I will do all I can to assist in the smooth transfer of my responsibilities before leaving.
I have truly appreciated your guidance and friendship during my time employed. I therefore wish both you and Next Directory every good fortune and I would like to thank you once again for having me as part of your team.
Yours sincerely,

How does that seem? not too much ass licking is there?
