Dear Martha,

Please accept this letter as my formal resignation from my role as an account coordinator at Princeton Marketing Group. My last day will be on December 31, 2021.

However, I’m happy to assist with the transition as necessary or, if possible, continue to work on a freelance basis.

Dear Ms. Maple,

I’d like to begin this letter by saying thank you for offering me the position of inside sales at L&M Products. From my first day just three months ago, I’ve felt welcome and valued and until recently, I have felt my future was here. Unfortunately, that has turned out not to be the case, and it is in no way the fault of L&M.

Due to circumstances beyond my control and related to the health of my mother, I will no longer be able to continue my employment, and my last day will be Friday, September 22, which is two weeks from today. I am in the process of making plans to relocate to Kansas to care for her in the short term while making arrangements for her long term care.

I will continue to develop leads and leave complete notes for the individual you hire to replace me, and if you have any questions or special requests before my last day, please know I’ll do what I can to help with the transition.

I sincerely regret this turn of events. I am grateful to you for your belief in my potential and wish I could have stayed on to prove us both right. Thank you for your understanding.

Sincerely,

Felicity Weeks”
