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!

Just stick your head between your legs, and kiss you butt goodbye

Good luck with that one,

by law, former employers cant say anything positive or negative about you. Personal references may be a diffferent story.

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

Dear Mr. Sullivan:


I have been a part of this Organization for the past ten months, and I wish to persue other employment opportunities. I have enjoyed my time as a part of this organization. I would like to thank you for the opportunities presented to me here. I would like you to accept this letter as my official resignation on April 28, 2006. I feel that you should have no trouble finding a replacement.

I have enjoyed the work, and association with my fellow employees.

Regards:



Jayme Miller

Looks good to me, but I work for family...If I put something that nice, they wouldn't understand what I was try to say

Should work fine for a normal employer

I wasn't always a pool cleaner you know...
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.

Oh, I see how it is Chris!!!

Tell that to my brothers, they'll get a good laugh out of it!

Ok , i am becoming **** about this , i re-wrote the first part:


Dear Mr. Sullivan:


I have been a part of this Organization for the past ten months, and it has been a great learning experience for me. However at this point I wish to persure alternative employment opportunities. I feel you should have no trouble finding a replacement. Please accept this letter as my official resignation on April 28, 2006.

My boss is actually rather dense ( like a slab of concrete dense) and i am afraid he might not understand my letter... seriously...

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.

JKM

Yeah , if you knew my boss , you would know that won't work , i don't think we have spoken more then a couple of sentences since i worked there , he would prefer to send typed memo's , by way of the shop forman.

My Boss (Dad) is pretty dense too, but in another sense of the word

(He's the one on the ground in that pic of the truck)
