Sample Resignation Letter
Date
Former Manager’s Name
Title
Company
It is with mixed emotion, yet with firm conviction that I write this letter of resignation from (company name).
My association during the past (#) years with this excellent firm and its many fine people has been a wonderful part of my professional and personal life.
Please understand that I have made my decision after considerable deliberation. An outstanding opportunity presented itself that will significantly enhance my career and assist me in achieving my goals.
I am therefore resigning from (company name) effective (date). This will allow sufficient time to complete current commitments prior to commencing with my new employer on (date). In the interim, I will work with you and the staff to provide a smooth transfer of my current duties.
I hope that you will understand and accept my decision. I will support you in making this change as easy as possible for the staff and department.
Sincerely,

Can't people just say, "I don't want to work here any longer so I'm leaving in 2 weeks or at the company's preference."
Why all the eloquent yet hollow rhetoric?
The story about the mechanic leaving his boots on the thunder mug is pretty funny. There are a lot of differences between dirty jobs and professional ones. I guess I've never had a professional job, so I've only seen the f-you type of exit.
Take H2O's letter and revise it to read that "we are letting you go" with as much of the current wording and sentence structure. I'd like to hear some stories about any company that used a technique like that.
I'll start:
"It is with mixed emotion, yet with firm conviction that I write this letter terminating your position from (company name)......Please understand that I have made my decision after considerable deliberation. We at (company name) hope a future outstanding opportunity presents itself that will significantly enhance your career and assist you in achieving your goals.....I hope that you will understand and accept my decision. I will support you in making this change as easy as possible for your friends here and your family at home."
Doesn't work quite that way.
