Dear Ms. Lee:

I regret to inform you that I am resigning from my position here immediately as a Business Development Consultant for personal reasons. My last day will be tomorrow. I know this is unexpected, but I am happy to assist you in the replacement process to help alleviate the transition.

I cannot thank you enough for the opportunities this company has provided me. Working here for the last five years has been incredibly instrumental in my personal growth, and I will never forget the colleagues and friends I have made here.

I will miss both the customers and the company alike very much.

If there is anything I can do to help make this transition easier, please let me know. I do not intend to inconvenience you with this news, and I hope you will accept my most sincere apologies for making September 16th my final day here.

If necessary, I can be available for phone and email inquiries from home on a limited basis for the weeks following my departure date.

Thank you so much for your understanding in this matter. I have loved my job, and I will look back on my time here with wonderful memories.

Sincerely,

Signature (hard copy letter)

I regret to inform you that I am resigning from my position as a customer service representative for Embassy International, effective Tuesday, August 14.

I will do my best to get as much of my work done in the meantime so the next employee will have a smooth transition.

“Dear Mr Anderson,

I enjoy the work we do at this firm, and I believe that insurance defence plays an important role in protecting the integrity of the industry for everyone. Unfortunately, my health has to come first, and that means I need to tender my resignation.

I do not make this choice lightly, but after consultation with my doctor and a second opinion that said the same thing, I find I have to do so. The long hours and demanding reading schedule simply put too much strain on my migraines at this time, and the acceleration of their intensity and duration has come to prevent me from doing my duties.

I, Tillie Piper, resign from my position as a third-year associate in the Anderson & Larsen firm, effective immediately.

I want to express my heartfelt thanks for your mentorship over the past two and a half years, and I regret the necessity of this decision. Unfortunately, when it comes to long-lasting health concerns with far-reaching implications, one faces no choice but to bow to the needs of the body. I hope to be able to find a work/life balance that allows me to practice law again, but first I need to focus on recovery.

Thank you for the time we have spent together.

Sincerely,

Tillie Piper”

Hanson Reginald

Manager, Company Name

Dear. Mr Reginald,

This letter is to inform you that I will be resigning my position from Post Upton Corporation immediately due to stress. 

I am very saddened by this as I enjoyed my job, the people I worked with and the company I worked for. You and the management staff had made my tasks enjoyable, for the most part. Please understand that this is a general sort of stress that is not attributed specifically to my job. For the company’s education and files, I have included a copy of a note from my doctor regarding my condition.

If you need my input on certain daily tasks, please feel free to call me at home. But I would ask that you limit the calls to allow me to rest. You can reach me at 000-000-0000 or email me at email@email.com. Please pass along my best wishes and thoughts to everyone at the company.

Sincerely Yours,

Keyla Gallegos”
