you will leave a better impression to hand your supervisor a short and sweet resignation letter
(don't burn any bridges)

Without knowing any of the background information that prompted this question and taking the question at face value only, I would say no its not ok. My reason being that it would be totally unprofessional unless you were asked by your employer to put it in an email. You should first verbally inform your employer about your intentions and let them know you are giving a two weeks notice and then you can back it up in writing (in longhand or by typing). This way would not only be the professional way (regardless of the level of authority you have on the job) but also would show maturity.

If you send it in e-mail they could play games if they lay you off and not pay unemployment. It's sneaky out in the Market today.
I wanted to leave my job before and instead of leaving without another job to replace it I asked around found one to pay me what I deserve and then gave my notice.
All of the sudden the company wanted to match this to keep me. I turned the other job away and worked for a month until I was ( Rudely Surprised ) laid off. Now the other company has no avail. for me and I'm on unemployment.
My advise: Don't leave unless you have a job lined up. It's a tough Job market out there. If they want to increase your pay or match your pay GET IT IN WRITING - or - Get the new job if you emotionally can not stand to work where you are any longer.

It's not the best thing to do: it's far better to tell your boss in person or by letter if it's not feasible to see your boss in person. An email is the last choice, but it's far better than just quitting without notice at all.

I wouldn't suggest it. Its proper to give two weeks notice in person, explaining why you are leaving. So that in the future, for resumes, you didn't leave you work on bad terms. You may not feel its wrong, but it doesn't seem appropriate. You want your boss to give you a good reference in the future, you really want to avoid the email and tell them face to face.

It depends on the job, and your relationship with your boss. Do you see him often, and speak to him? If so, then that would not be appropriate. Actually emailing him that way would be tacky. Give your boss a type-written letter, and make sure you sign it!

Absolutely not! This is a potentially legally contended piece of communication and you need to present a signed copy to have inserted into your employee file. This can impact current benefits, COBRA benefits, references to future employers and a host of other possibilities.
What I would do: Send a signed letter of recommendation. Send an email follow-up referencing that signed letter of recommendation, (i.e. "As you know, I submitted a signed two-week notice of recognition to your office earlier today. I just wanted to follow up with you and thank you for the opportunity to work for this organization. . .etc).

Only if you have no intelligence and respect That is down right tacky!! he deserves some respect after all!! after all you are breaking the relationship you have with him- employer/ employee
would you break up with your boyfriend/girlfriend in a email NO so don't do it to your boss! and besides it wont look good to you if your next employer calls him for a reference!!

Were you hired by e-mail? Then yes...........However a written notice placed on the boss's desk is more dignifying. That is ,assuming you are too shy to say so in person...I find that hard to believe............you were hired in person,yes? You took his money, so why not give him the decency of a formal notice?

Not professional!!
To keep in the good graces of the company, it is best to do so in person. An email sends the wrong message to your employer and puts you in a bad light.
Never burn the bridge you are on. You never know when you may need to cross it again.

Only if you do not care if your boss is offended,and thus will not give you a good work rating to your next employer who by the way might not hire you based on your formers black ball.
