“Michael Stephens
University president Red Rose University
November 14, 2020
Dear Mr. Stephens,
I’m writing to inform you of my resignation from my position as an associate professor in the sociology department. This decision to resign wasn’t an easy one to make, but I’ve finalized my decision due to the lack of professional growth opportunities at Red Rose University. My last day will be on December 2, 2020.
I’ve had a pleasant teaching experience and learned a lot during the past nine years in my position. I’ve built beneficial relationships with my fellow staff members and gained valuable information from the university’s education workshops. I appreciate all the opportunities that Red Rose University has granted me thus far, but I believe that I can best further my career by pursuing employment elsewhere.
During my time at the university, I’ve always been punctual and willing to fill in for absent professors. I’ve also been very active in the university by leading several research projects. I believed I would’ve received higher pay increases during my time here. I was also hoping to receive an offer for a tenure position.
I’ve received multiple offers from different state universities for associate professor positions, and all of them are willing to consider tenure after a year or two of my employment. I plan to pursue one of these positions in hopes of advancing my professional career.
I’d like to thank you again for all that Red Rose University has offered me so far, but I feel that it’s best for me to pursue employment elsewhere. I hope that we will stay in touch. I wish you all the best.
Sincerely,
Sara Mitchell
Associate professor

Dear Dean Folson,
I write this letter to inform you that, as we have previously discussed, I will be resigning from my position as Associate Professor of Sociology with Company Name, at the end of the fall semester. My husband has been offered an academic position at a college in Maine, and I will be relocating with him to join the faculty at a nearby community college. Please consider this my formal resignation letter.
I look forward to the opportunities that await me, both professionally and personally; however, I will truly miss the amazing colleagues I have been fortunate to know here, as well as the students. I am honored to have received the opportunity to grow and learn amid such talent and brilliance.
I appreciate the support you have offered me over the years and the encouragement you give me during this time of transition. Thank you so much for your assistance and attention to this matter. I wish you and my colleagues the best of success and hope that we will remain in touch.
