RESIGNATION
September 15, 2008

Gary Smith
General Manager
Wells Fargo Bank
888 Remington Drive
Madison, NC 27122

Dear Sir:

I hereby tender my resignation from Wells Fargo Bank effective September 30, 2008.
I find working for the bank as an Investment Consultant extremely challenging and fulfilling. I had the privilege of meeting the bank’s most important clients and the prestige of managing high-end portfolios. I consider my work as the height of my banking career.

However, I decide to shift gears at this stage of my life to be able to spend much valued time with my child. As you may not be aware of, my daughter requires special medical attention and care. She is epileptic and only a mother like me can assure that she is being properly monitored. With this situation, there is not a slightest feeling of regret that I need to resign. I am going to do what I am supposed to do as a responsible parent. Career wise though, I will look for options that will allow me to continue growing in the confines of our home. I might search for a home-based income generating opportunity. I am nevertheless blessed to have a husband willing to support me during this time of crisis.

Thank you so much for everything. I deeply appreciate the respect and guidance I received from you as my supervisor. I guarantee proper turn over of my responsibilities for a smooth transition. As per policy, I am also submitting all properties of the bank in my possession.

Sincerely yours,

Michelle Stansfield

Todd Stanton, President
Lexington Arms Company, Inc.

East Alton, IL 62242

Dear Mr. Stanton:

It is with deep regret that I need to tender my resignation effective September 30, 2008. I have tremendously enjoyed my stint as a firearms salesman at your good company, Lexington Arms. I am also grateful that I was allowed to take this position even if I lack the academic requirement of being a college graduate. Being exposed to the business and the clients, I became aware of the need to further my craft through education. I intend to go back to school and get a diploma. I am now informed that doing this will help me diversify career options and will allow me career advancement. Without this exposure, I will never realize the value of good education, and for this I am forever grateful to you.

Thank you for trusting in me and for continuously motivating me in my endeavors. I have learned the importance of discipline and hard work through your example. I believe that the company’s productivity will not be affected at all with my resignation because you have the best people serving your clients.

Before I leave, allow me to take pride in what I have accomplished for Lexington Arms. I was able to increase the sales to 30% in the very first month that I started. I also shared valuable inputs and suggestions for better business operation. I hope that in the near future, I can reapply as a better employee with a diploma.

Again, thank you very much and more power to Lexington Arms!

Sincerely,

Adrianne Michaels

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,

Hopefully, when my recovery is complete, I will be able to again re-enter the job market, and would appreciate any consideration you might give me with respect to employment with your company at that time.

Thank you for your confidence in me. I hope I was able to contribute to the success of the company. I will truly miss you all as well as my work but will try to stay in touch as much as possible.

Top Ten Tips for Writing a Letter of Resignation

Comments Off Categories: Resign
Tags: , , , , , ,

People resign for all sorts of reasons, but that doesn’t mean you should burn your bridges. Therefore, it’s important to be as professional in departure as you were during employment. Remember, not only is it expensive for employers to find and train a new worker to replace you, but your next employer you get will want to know how you left your previous job. So if you keep these ten tips in mind you should be able to smooth the transition and keep your work history problem free.

Tip #1: Use Proper Presentation
Don’t add insult to injury by dismissing the letter of resignation. Use good stationary (and yes, it is okay to use the company stationary in this case), business format and layout. Handwritten letters on the back of diner placemats simply won’t do.

Tip #2: Give Your Reasons for Leaving
State the reasons why you feel the need to terminate your employment. You don’t need to defend your choices, but you should be prepared to give some sort of explanation.

Tip #3: State Your Value
Describe to your employer the skills you brought to the company and the relationships you developed there. This is not to brag or rub the employer’s face in it, but simply to highlight your contributions so that they can appreciate the benefit the company has received from your work (and what you have gained from the experience).

Tip #4: Offer Your Assistance
Be sure to give plenty of notice and offer to train your replacement to help smooth the transition and minimalize any disruption of work.

Tip #5: Maintain Clarity
Make your points clear and ensure that there are no spelling or grammatical mistakes. This is not the time to dash off a first draft and hope that it will do.

Tip #6: Keep It Simple
Don’t elaborate too much, just get to the point.

Tip #7: Remain Neutral
While emotion may have played a part in your decision to leave it should not make an appearance in the letter of resignation. This is not the place to lay blame or air grievances.

Tip #8: Show Respect
This is a formal and lasting document that will probably be seen by more than just your supervisor so be respectful and professional regardless of any informality (or conflict) that may have existed in the workplace.

Tip #9: Be Grateful
Employment is a privilege and should be treated as such. Make sure to thank your employer for the opportunity.

Tip #10: Don’t Forget the Details
There are always things that must be stated outright such as the exact date of departure, where you can be reached and when you will be available for any exit interviews that they require. Don’t assume that they already know the facts.

If you follow these tips and remind yourself that this letter is as much for your own file as it is for your employer’s then you will always maintain the professionalism that they have come to expect of you.

Resigning with Dignity

Comments Off Categories: Resign
Tags: , , ,

When its time to leave a job, whether for a better opportunity or to escape an undesirable situation, let dignity be your friend and exit of choice. While the company you are leaving may not be your future, you are your future. If you want others (and even yourself) to view you as an honorable person, you must choose to be honorable. Don’t worry about past mistakes. We’ve all had our less than glorious moments. Moving forward with dignity will always be a winning formula.

So how do you exit and leave behind a loyal employer who has stood by you through thick and thin? How do you exit from a dreadful employer? First you must take emotion out of the equation. We’re talking about making a living. This calls for logical thought. Whether you’ve had a good or bad experience with your present employer, moving on to serve your career, income goals, or even to accommodate family needs, is perfectly respectable. Once you truly own this concept in your belief system you are already half way there; to resigning with dignity.

Depending on the weight of your current position, standard protocol may dictate a two week notice or a one month advance notice. Be sure to follow protocol when possible.

Your resignation should be in the form of a written notice even if you are on a friendly basis. Proper pays respect. Keep your letter short and to the point. Remember this is a business letter not an emotional cleansing outlet. State your intention to resign and your date of departure. You may want to thank a good employer for the opportunity they have given you and for all that you have learned while working for their company. Keep it brief. Sincerity stands on its own. If the working relationship has been less than positive you can still create a dignified closure. A simple statement expressing your appreciation for giving you an opportunity with their company and the experience you have gained will do the trick.

Dignity feels so good. Enjoy, and good luck with your new job!

The Graceful Resignation

Comments Off Categories: Resign
Tags: , , ,

When leaving a job, even a terrible one, it’s important to maintain the best possible relationship with your soon-to-be former employer. A well-written resignation letter can ensure that you’ll be able to use your supervisor as a reference in the future. While these letters rightly tend to be short and unimaginative, the following tips will assist in paving the way to a smooth resignation.

- Resigning from a company using its own letterhead would be bad form. A printed resignation is far better than an e-mailed version, but use plain paper.

- Resignations should be brief and formal. State that you are resigning from your position and give an effective date.

- While it may be appropriate to provide a reason for your departure, in no instance should the letter itself become a list of complaints. This letter may be kept on file for future employment references; therefore, do not make negative statements about your tenure with the company. If there is a possibility of legal action related to your employment with this company, provide as little information on your reasons for leaving as possible.

- Thank the employer for the opportunities and assistance that were provided to you during your tenure. Try to be genuine without gushing.

- If you are willing to do so, offer to assist with the transition to your replacement. Apologize if you are unwilling or unable to do so, or if you are giving your employer less than two weeks’ notice or leaving a fixed-term position earlier than agreed upon. Do your best to offer your employer a reasonable notice in order to train someone to take over your duties, especially if you have accrued a lot of knowledge that is not understood by anyone else in the company.

- Include any requests related to your departure, such as where to forward your last paycheck.

- Wish the employer well for the future.

That’s it! The best resignation letters are short and to the point. Be sure to make a copy of the letter for your records, and be prepared to be terminated immediately upon resignation, regardless of the notice you have offered.
