Resignation Letters

[Shinobi128]

My time at my current job is coming to an end. I hate it to no end, and as much as I would like to walk out on them and slash a few tires, I'm not that kind of person. A reference may or may not be used, but I'd like to leave in good terms if the case is true.

I've come up with something simple and straight to the point. My research about the subject though has given me different answers regarding who I should address this too. Should I give it directly to the supervisor above me in that department or the general manager? Doesn't "TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN" sound to impersonal?

Dear [manager]
After an appropriate period of deliberation, I have come to the decision to tender my resignation from [company name], effective [date].

Please know that I still maintain a high level of respect for you as a manager and colleague, and I thank you sincerely for the support and assistance you have offered me in each of those roles. I have been proud to work for [company name] over the past eight years; it has been a journey that has provided me an unparalleled foundation to move forward to new and exciting opportunities.

As such, I have decided to become a professional pirate. It has always been a dream of mine to live the life of a swashbuckling corsair, beholden to none and master of all I survey. Once my crew of unabashed rogues is assembled, we shall take to the capacious expanse of the high seas to pursue fortune, fame, and hair-raising adventure.

Our path may not be filled with the porcine comforts and technological marvels that [company name] provides, but we shall nonetheless move forward to carve a name for ourselves in the annals of bold insurgency and death-defying derring-do. Once I have a keen blade at my hip and the Jolly Roger is flapping high above me, I believe I will find my true calling.

Please note that I am currently accepting applications for First Officer, if you are at all interested in applying. I will provide a full medical and dental plan, which will offer immediate coverage of all maladies other than scurvy and the occasional bout of rickets.

Sincerely

[signature]

Use that.

Goto Kinkos and get it done on Carribean parchment .. and singe the edges of the paper.

Also, you will need to develop some sort of Seal, and stamp it in the blood of your enemies.

I'd use that if I wasn't already a ninja.

Just take a shit in the back room, and write the words "Fuck you bitches" with it.

Just take a shit in the back room, and write the words "Fuck you bitches" with it.

Make that shit an upper-decker, and you will be forever be a legend in the company.

[Rhydant]

That is quite possibly the best resignation letter ever. I'm gonna print that shit out.

Back to the topic at hand: just Google for 'resignation letters' and you'll find something. Monster.com usually has that kind of thing, too.

Btw, whats this job that you hate so much?

[Revoltor]

Just take a shit in the back room, and write the words "Fuck you bitches" with it.

Awesome.
