Sample 1: “Corporate officer resignation letter”

“Breanna Wallace,

Please let this letter serve as my resignation as Chief Information Officer for Proper Incorporated effective September 15, 2014. I have been offered the opportunity to work as a CIO for a Fortune 500 company and feel that I must take advantage of this opportunity to advance my career.

I wanted to thank you and the board for your support throughout these years. The advancements we have made together with the company’s IT needs and the integration of the entire company into a single computer platform are two of the accomplishments I will always remember.

I have take the time to prepare briefs on everything that the board will need to know to move forward and I also plan on having extensive meetings with my staff to make sure that everything runs smoothly until a replacement can be found. I would like to take this opportunity to highly recommend Ashton Yates as my replacement. Ashton has a strong understanding of the company’s IT situation and the vision necessary to move the company forward.

If you require any further information or need more paperwork completed, please feel free to contact me at 000-000-0000 or email me at email@email.com. I would be more than happy to do what I can to make this transition as smooth as possible.

Sincerely Yours,

Harvey L. Benson”

Sample 2: “Corporate officer resignation letter”

“Dear President McLean:

Please accept my resignation from my position as Chief Operations Officer of XYZ Manufacturing, Inc., and please, also, accept my apology for the financial strain that I caused the company due to my ill-advised choice of new computer technology that was implemented earlier this year. I was lead to believe, by representatives of ABC Technologies, that the system was adequate to serve our purposes at XYZ; however, as we all know now, it was grossly inadequate. Had I conducted a more diligent check of the company and the particular product I selected, I would have discovered that the system would not meet our technology needs.

As I am the one ultimately responsible for this debacle, I am able and willing to stay on until the replacement system is up and running. I am more than willing to work around-the-clock to help repair some of the damage done by the installation of the other system and to help recoup some of the losses experienced by the company in the last quarter. If this arrangement is not desirable to you and the Board of Directors, I will depart the premises according to your direction.

I have been able to obtain a partial refund from ABC Technologies for the sections of their contract in which they were clearly unable to deliver the product they promised in the timeframe indicated in the contract. It is my hope that the partial refund will help ease some of XYZ’s current financial burden. When you name a new COO, you will find all of my electronic and hard copy files and records in order for the new corporate officer to review. Please inform me of anything else I can do to make the transition as easy as possible for the new COO and the employees as they go through this latest computer conversion.

Respectfully,

Gerald Matthews”
