Salutation
Dear Mr./Ms. Last Name,
Good day!
Please accept this as a formal notice of my resignation from the post, effective today, December 5, 2008. This decision was not easy and took a lot of careful consideration.
I realize that my contract of employment requires me to work up to thirty days from the point of resignation. However, I’d be grateful to be released earlier and will as assume that this is acceptable unless you inform me to the contrary.
I am resigning because of personal reasons and the enthusiasm to try another field of work. Please understand that the other job I have accepted is in harmony with my career goals. While I believe that I am moving for good reasons, I am sorry to leave, and I thank you for your support during my time with the company, which I have found enjoyable and fulfilling.
Please be assured that I will do all I can to help you in handing over my responsibilities before leaving. I would also like to thank you for making me part of your team. I also understand that official company documents like my clearance and certificate of employment would take time to be settled, so I am more than willing to set a separate appointment for this.
I wish you good luck in your future endeavors.
Respectfully yours,
Your name and handwritten signature

Dear Mr. Freeman:
Working at Prosperity Manufacturing has been a rewarding experience for me, personally and career wise. I was able to recognize my strengths as a professional and my weaknesses as a human being. I am truly grateful that I was given the chance to be exposed to different kinds of people and that I was able to gain proper customer relationship skills through my work.
I will be forever grateful for the numerous trainings made available to me during my service at the company. These trainings widened my perspective and increased my knowledge about handling customer concerns effectively. I am also glad for having supportive and warm officemates that helped lighten my day-to-day work responsibility. I can say that I wouldn’t be as efficient without the presence of my good-natured colleagues.
In spite of all the good features I visibly recognize in my work environment, I regret to say that I need to resign from my post. I have been offered a supervisory position at the Excellent Garments Inc. which I consider as a grand opportunity. With my discipline and good work ethics, I believe I deserve to be in the said position. I would like my resignation to take effectivity by the end of this month, to comply with the company policy on resignation.
Thank you very much. I wish Prosperity Manufacturing, Inc. continued success.
Sincerely,
Jeffrey L. Connelly
