Answer 1

I'd just write it in the typical business format, and say something like "I'm writing this letter to inform you that I am resigning from as of because ." The why part is optional, and can be as long or as short as you like. If it's a story it might extend into several paragraphs, but it could also be compacted to a sentence or a short phrase. Tell them to contact you if they need more time to find someone else or if there's a problem (not like they can do anything about it, but if you're leaving on good terms you might be willing to cooperate).

Then you can add some little things like what you thought it was like to work there, and what you liked about working there. Say something about it being a good experience and leave it alone. If it was a bad experience and you don't think saying something about it will change anything, just don't say anything. Keep that part short too, by the way. I'd aim for no more than two sentences or so, probably one. Altogether, I could see you finishing that in a letter of two or three very short paragraphs. The only reason I could see that letter getting longer than that is if you are leaving on bad terms and want to complain and tell a long story.

Close the letter by saying something like "Sincerely, ". Leave a space for your signature. Under your name, you might put your title, address, and phone number if you like.

I wouldn't agonize too much about a resignation letter . . . the world isn't an English class and no one will care about the minor details as long as your letter is decent and makes sense. Good night!

Oh, by the way . . . if you think you might get a bad reference, you may as well save a copy of your resignation letter. It can't hurt anything, and it could come in handy.

Ah, I see a detail now. No envelope is necessary if you are going to hand your supervisor the letter personally. An envelope may be appropriate if you have to leave the letter in their office or mailbox unattended.

Answer 2

The usual format.Dear Sir It is with regret that I have to resign from your company and state how much you have enjoyed working there but it is time to move on.If you are saying nice things about the company then you are more likely to get a favourable reference from the supervisor.Also hang onto the copy of your resignation letter for your new employers.Its for them to kno w that you resigned for your own reasons rather than being sacked.

Answer 3

Dear Whoever

Unfortunatly I will be moving on from the current job I have with you and will be needing to resign as soon as possible. In the next couple of days or even today would be great.
Sorry if any inconvenience is caused.
