Letter of resignation
#16
Here you go....
Short sweet and to the point. This should tell them quite clearly that your mind is made up and will also keep you from burning a bridge, whether or not you care to cross it ever again.
Not that this is relavent to your situation, but I could easily go back to every single job I have ever had since I started working in high school. Sure, I probably left an organization at a time when they needed me, but there has to be a line somewhere. I've left all of my jobs in a responsible, professional manner. In fact, a couple of my first employers are now very supportive vendors of mine!
Dear Mr./Mrs. XXXX,
Having been a (insert job title here) at this organization for the past XX years I feel it is time for a change. I will resign effective April XX, 2006. You should have no difficulty finding a replacement.
I have enjoyed the work and the association with my fellow employees.
Best wishes,
JKM

Ok , on a serious note , this is what i have typed up? does it sound like it will work?

I used to be a fry-cook, a computer salesman, an as-needed CEMS builder and a PC builder (which was a good job).
And I've only quit from two different pool cleaning operations before I started my own.
My careers in life have been excellent!
As for the leaving-the-wife-for-a-month-part; if you set the TV to "Channel Scan" and put a few specially-shaped pillows in the bed, she might not notice that you're gone...

There you go Jayme!
I would be thrilled if one of my employees presented a letter like that to me when they left.
Most of my guys just don't show up to work. Then, when I call them they say, "oh, I forgot to let you know, I got another job." I guess $18.00/hour just isn't enough when 50% of your time is behind the wheel of a laid out, $100K, class 6 truck! What was I thinking? No, not all of my guys make that, but one that just fizzled out on my a few years ago did. I think he joined the bricklayers union or something, so I guess it could have been for more $$$, but certainly much harder work.

I've been on the other side of it having employees that need to leave for w/e reason. If it's a large company they like a letter just to keep things formal, but it's really much easier just to have a talk with your boss. Taking a minute to talk it out bodes much better down the road than a letter and a hand out asking for your check.
