Sample resignation letter as a production operator
We will see some sample resignation letters as a production operator or machine operator, just as you may be required to write a cover letter when you are applying to a job, you may need to write a resignation letter.
As an employee, you need to let your employer know you would like to quit your current job position.
You could let your employer know in writing to make a formal request about your intention to resign your job.
However, some companies have their own policies in terms of the notice period, for instance, some might ask for a 1 month, two weeks, or one week.
But on occasion, you may need to write a letter with short notice or an immediate effect due to personal reasons, illness, traveling abroad, taking care of a family member, among other reasons.
This means you may need to submit your letter without a notice period, which can potentially cause some trouble for the company not having enough time to find a suitable replacement.

Dear Yolanda Jones
I am resigning from my position as Machine Operator for the Clokato County Service Center effective in five weeks.
I plan on being gone for about eight weeks as I prepare for and race in the 103rd running of America’s Cup Yacht Race.
The Aussies won the cup last year and we don’t want to change the name to the Australian Cup, so we are working harder than ever to get our yachts ready to win the crown and return it to its rightful home: America.
I hope to return to the Clokato County Service Center effective after the race.
I still have a great deal of seniority in the government. I feel that this is the fairest way to engage in this action since I don’t know what will happen during the race. Wish us the best Ð Go USA.
I shall help find and train my Machine Operator temporary replacement. I will turn my badge and uniform into Human Resources (HR) before leaving. HR can reach me at 444-975-1515 or (mywork@email.com).
Many Thanks,
Duncan McReilly”
