Dear ________
It is with deep regret that I must submit this letter to you. As you may know, I have enjoyed working with this company for ____ years now and would love to be able to continue to do so.
However, due to illness, I find that I must tender my resignation, effective _________. Hopefully, this date will allow you ample time to find a suitable replacement for me. If it were feasible to continue in your employ, I would certainly choose that route, but this is not a possibility with my current health situation.
I have come to think of my co-workers here as part of my family and will certainly miss each one of you. Working with such fine people has added much to my life, and I will always fondly remember the time I spent here. I feel that I have learned much from this job, not only in technical skills, but in dealing with others.
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. I’m confident your business will continue to thrive and enjoy much success and prosperity in the days ahead.
Sincerely,
Your Name
