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

I am writing this letter to inform you that I will be resigning from my job position effective Monday a week from now, which will be Month, Date, Year.
Everything just happened so quickly, as one of my friends is opening up a new company, offered me a key position with all the benefits and growth opportunities, which I could not refuse.
I had an excellent time working at (name of the company), which has provided me to excel in various areas throughout my stay. I am really thankful to all of my colleagues, who provided tremendous help and support. I have gathered nothing but wonderful memories from this organization and I pray that it will continue to grow on a consistent basis as it has over the years.
Since I am leaving on such a short notice, it will be an honor for me if I am given the opportunity to train the new team member. I would appreciate if you can call me and let me know about that, so I am able to adjust my routines accordingly.
