i really care for the place i currently work at but i am going to get more money at the new place. so is there any etiquette to writing a resignition letter. i dont want to get all dear john on them. do i just say "hey im quiting in two weeks" or do i say "its been nice but i have a chance at something better and dont want to pass it up"? i hope i gave enough details. if not i can follow up. thanks : )

When you write your resignation letter remember it may be read by future employers. Since your resignation letter will be the final document in your company's personnel file, it will be the first document seen when a future employer calls for a reference.
Keep it short and sweet....Maintain a good relationship with your employer and associates, Show enthusiasm and appreciation for the work you have done, Emphasize what you have contributed, and Highlight your skills. By giving a well written resignation with sufficient notice will maintain your dignity and Keep doors open (don't burn bridges) if you decide to go back.....Also you might want to ask you supervisor or colleagues for letters of reference if you are leaving on good terms.....Good Luck with your new job!!!!

I would write something along the lines of thank you for the opportunity to work here, I have grown a lot professionally and feel it is time for me to move on to new challenges. I would not mention anything about money in the letter, just keep it polite and friendly. You dont want to burn any bridges! Good luck at your new job!

I think the best way to write your resignation letter is to put some of the details in it for filing purposes, but to request what's called an "exit interview" where you sit down with your boss and discuss exactly what's going on and why you're leaving. Most bosses really appreciate this.

When you write your letter of resignation make it very neat and express your appreciation for them allowing you the opportunity to work for them and tell them the date you are going to your new place of employment. There is no need of details of why you are leaving but if they ask just say you have a new job opportunity that you have accepted.

of course there is a way for that...better ask for help in internet or maybe in google and try to find the samples for resignation letter and there you will be given some letters that might suit your taste.

Don't mention the money, that's usually a given. Other than that, be honest with how you feel--mention specific people that mentored you and helped you grow in your career. Thank them for the opportunity, and convey a little sadness that you're leaving (if it's true).

don't give a lot of details
make the letter short and sweet
you can explain verbally to a superior why you are leaving but the written portion should just be very basic

Give the reason - state your regret in doing so- compliment the organization so as to leave room that if you ever must return, they will think favourably of you and possibly take you back.
