RE: Resignation
Dear Ms. Dietz:
Please accept this as my formal resignation letter from my position as [Name of Position] to be effective from [date]. I have scheduled my resignation from your company a month from now, which will allow me sufficient time to prepare my successor to take over my position.
I wish to thank you and all my colleagues at Nothing Company l for all your help, professional courtesy, and support. I have immensely enjoyed working here as the [Name of Position] for the past six years, and my experience with this company has been greatly rewarding.
You probably already know the reason I am leaving is due to my spouse being relocated to Florida. But I wanted to state officially that my resignation is in no way to be perceived as my being unhappy or dissatisfied with the job, its responsibilities, or leadership of Nothing Company.
I wish you and the rest of the administrative team continued success, and I want to take this opportunity again to thank you for permitting me to be part of the team.
Sincerely,
Mariana Greene
