RE: resignation on March 7, 2019

​

Dear Mr. Bishop:

It is with great regret that I must inform you that in two weeks’ time I am resigning from the position of chef. I understand that my departure will cause a disruption, and I will do everything in my power to facilitate the smooth transition of duties to my replacement.

My decision to resign is not due to any shortcomings from this restaurant, but to a recent diagnosis of a severe health problem. I was advised by my physician to cease working as soon as possible. With much consideration, I must agree with my doctor’s recommendation, because I cannot function at the typical level that I have no doubt you have come to expect, and focus on my health at the same time. 

While working here, the support and encouragement I have received and the connections I have made, both professional and personal, have been invaluable. I will miss the challenging nature of my work and the enjoyable atmosphere and coworkers. I will always be grateful.

Sincerely,

​

George Bridges”

Karen Horrender

Manager Night Out Restaurant

100 Broadway Lane

London UK NW80QE

Dear Mrs. Horrender

This letter is to inform you of my resignation as chef of the Night Out Restaurant effective two weeks from this date. I have recently been offered the opportunity to join the staff of a prestigious cooking school in Paris France and feel that I must take advantage of this opportunity.

The time I have spent at Night Out will always stay with me as I have made many lifelong friends with staff members and patrons. The overwhelmingly positive response to my cooking has been a source of pride and inspiration for me for many years. I will never forget your kindness and I will never forget what Night Out and its customers have done for my career.

I have discussed all of the details of running the kitchen with my sous chef Douglas Arter and recommend him as my replacement. Douglas is a professional who will maintain the Night Out’s reputation and help the business to grow.

Until the end of September, I will be available at 555-332-5432 if you need more details. I will always be available by email at fhaulet@email.com. Please do not hesitate to contact me.

Sincerely Yours

Chef Francois Haulet”
