Writing my notice - Need some help

I have to give at least three weeks notice and I am wondering if someone can just look over my first draft. I have never had to do this before.

Dear Mr. X

I regret to inform you that I will be leaving the employment of Showcase Cinemas as of the week ending Thursday 15th September, in order to pursue a music degree at the University of Bangor and I am giving you one months notice of my departure.

Yours sincerely,
A Musical Gal.

Ok, that was rubbish....how's this?

Dear Mr X
I am writing to inform you that as I will be shortly attending the University of Bangor, I will be unable to continue working for Showcase Cinemas.
I am therefore tendering my resignation from your company and wish to advise you that Thursday the 15th of September will be my last day of employment.

Sincerely,
A Musical Gal

Ah yes, a good reference is always good.

I know I can rely on my old job that I gave up in Feb to give me a great reference if I ever need one. I got on really well with the manager and still do.

I think it's always a good idea to add something a little less formal at the end, so that the employer-employee relationship ends on a friendly note (for reference reasons). So, just add that you've enjoyed your time working for them, and that you wish the company all the best in the future :smile:

Yes excellent idea. I wrote on the end of my resignation that I'd really enjoyed my 2 years there etc. :smile:

My mum took it and added stuff and adjusted it. It sounds good and its sealed and ready to be added in tomorrow.

The cinema is going through a bad patch where they're are losing staff left right and center so I being polite and giving 1 weeks extra notice.

It sounds fine. You have said why you are leaving and it is a valid reason- as long as you have given them your contractually obliged notice they have nothing to complain about. Just make sure that you have put a date on your letter of resignation.

hay, when i wrote my first quitting letter, i finished with the sentance 'i appologise for any incontinence that this may cause you' (the damn auto correct picked up my misspelling of inconvenience) i still can't spell it right. i only noticed when i looked at the spare letter i printed, but i'd already sent it!! (you really couldn't make this stuff up!) :redface:
