Sample 4:

Example from livecareer.co.uk:

“Dear Chief of Medical Staff Allen Lacy,

Please allow this letter to serve as my two-week resignation notice from Alpine Hospital. I am resigning from my position as an emergency physician to start my own personal practice in my hometown. This has been a dream of mine since medical school and now I finally get to bring that dream to reality.

I want to thank you sincerely for all of the time and effort you put into making me into the physician that I am today. I also want to point out that I was very proud to work so closely with a dedicated team of medical professionals. The staff and I were on hand for two major natural disasters and I feel that our performance was not only admirable but it saved a lot of lives that day.

I do understand that this leaves the hospital in a tough spot when it comes to an emergency physician but my window for being able to open my practice is narrow and I want to take the opportunity while it exists. If after I have left the hospital you need to get a hold of me for any reason please feel free to call me at 555-433-5454 or email me at tonysparta@email.com. Your calls and emails will always be welcome to me.

Sincerely Yours

Dr. Anthony V. Sparta”
