“To Erin A. Johnson
Manager, HR
Company Name
City, State, Zip Code
Dear Ms. Johnson,
I am pleased to inform you that I will not be returning to my employment as Outside Sales Associate with Company Name and that my resignation is effective immediately. I have, thankfully, received what appears to be an excellent and professional job offer with another company, and I am optimistic about my career path. Though it would be difficult to go anywhere but up after working in such an unprofessional environment as I experienced at Company Name.
Though I am obviously not thrilled with my time spent at Company Name, I am still open to completing any last-minute tasks associated with my position and am available, should you have future questions. You may call me at 000-000-0000 or email me at email@email.com. I will respond with as much care and promptness as I’ve been afforded from my superiors at Company Name, which is to say that I will get back to you when it is convenient for me to do so.
Thus, it is with tremendous pleasure that I tell you I am excited to be moving on to greener pastures. I wish you all mediocrity and status quo, which is about all I can seem to muster.
Sincerely,
Jerome Flynn
