Here is the body of my resignation letter.  Let me know what you think.\n\nTo Whom It May Concern:\n\nPlease accept this as formal notice of my resignation.  My final day will be April 28, 2006. \n\nWhile I believe that I am leaving for good reasons, I am sorry to leave, and I thank you for your support during my time with the company, which I have found enjoyable and fulfilling. \n\nI hope to receive the same courtesy I will afford your company during and upon my departure.  It has been a pleasure working with you and I do not want this to tarnish the relationships that have developed over my two years working here.\n\nThank you for your understanding and I apologize for the short notice.\n\nSincerely,

First, replace the "To Whom" with the name of your supervisor.\n\nSecond, letters such as these should be short and to the point.\n\nFinally, "Don't think of a white polar bear!"\n\n\nI'll be you are thinking of a white polar bear.\n\nAvoid using "no" and "Not" in business writing.  Instead of "I do not want this to tarnish" try "I hope we can stay in touch on a professional level as I have enjoyed the professional relationships that I have developed here over these past two years."

If this is a business letter confirming...something...the format is wrong.\n\n                                                                           Mr. Your Name\n                                                                            Your Company\n                                                                             Address\n                                                                            Date of Letter\n\nMr. Jeffrey Name\nHis Company\nCompany Address\n\nDear Mr. ?:\n\nAttached are five of the three-dimensional drawings that you requested.

Hello....I would meet with the supervisor or boss and talk about it.  Don't leave without being told what approach will be taken so you know where you stand.  On the other hand, have you ever considered working for yourself?  I am going to email you.  Good luck.

First of all be honest on why are leaving.\n\nGiving your two weeks notice to leave a job is not easy but if you play it smart it is not that difficult.\n\nNo one can tell you what to say but you. You of course should be professional but you should state your reason clearly because this job will probably be a reference check for your next job.\n\nType up the resignation letter on bond paper and give it to someone in HR (or your boss if need be) as soon as you can. You don't want the other company waiting to long for your to start working.\n\nCheck out the link below. Make sure you proofread you letter and of course try to be short and to the point.\n\nI hope this info is helpful to you and best of luck on your new job!

First, I would not say that you were fired. You weren't, exactly. You resigned and as long as you kept a copy of that termination letter you gave them, you shouldn't doubt that part of it. It feels icky when you think you've been fired.\nThen, due to the fact that you did have a legitimate reason to be away from work (health, der) they should cut you a little slack. However, it can't hurt to say that you are willing to start from the bottom and work your way up. Subbing, etc. As long as you can have that chance, and get your foot in, you can build trust and show that you are a worthy hire.\nWhy wouldn't you hire you? You shouldn't think that either! Did you want this to happen to you? Wouldn't you want a break?\nThat's all you need now. A chance, a break.\nGood luck!

If the message is given directly to Dr. Iou, consider the following:\nI would like to express my sincerest gratitude to you, Dr. Tony Iou, my teacher and supervisor. I have benefited from your guidance, great kindness and patience and I wish to say a heartfelt thank you.\nIf it is to a third person, then it should be:\nI would like to express my sincerest gratitude to Dr. Tony Iou, my teacher and supervisor. I have benefited from his guidance, great kindness and patience and I wish to say a heartfelt thank you to him.

Your letter sounds heartfelt and truthful, which is good.  Did you send it already?  I would also call your manager or whomever let you go and explain your situation too as well as mail the letter.  Most places if they feel you are heartfelt would like to give seconds chances.  I don't know the reasoning behind why you were terminated, and I am sure that they will take that in to consideration too.  If  I were you I'd start looking for another job, too, just incase this falls through.  Good luck.

Hello,\n\nThis situation is now rather ambigious (unclear) because normally if you have a written contact of employment, it would state clearly the amount of time required to terminate the contract with the employer. But if you've no written contract then your on thin ice as it where!. You only have the employers word for it, & of course an employer can make up the rules as they go along if that suits them? (yes! it can be very tricky).\n\nIf you've now completed your notice period of six weeks, your fully within your rights to leave immediately and without having to give yet further notice to end the employment.\n\n**The employer sounds like they made you a "verbal offer" of a better salary ( a carrott to make you stay on!!) or job promotion. However, if the verbal offer hasnt materialised or was broken i.e. not kept too! or apears to be just an empty promiss. Again your within your legal rights to leave, you havent broken any emplyment laws here as far as I can see.\n\n**I woudnt believe a word of anything offered further as an incentive to stay. i.e  the employer or manager is NOT to be trusted if they dont deliver on any promises made. Sadly you can only go by the past track record of how they have behaved towards you.\n\nHope that might be of use? IR

To my Co-workers,\nYou have made this work experience here at .... Most enjoyable as well as educational. I have made some friends as well as learned from you all. I would like to say Thank you and farewell to you all . I hope we can stay in touch.

Type up your two weeks notice. Remember to state how wonderful it was to work their and how much you enjoy being their. Tell them you would love to stay, but you have recieved a job offer you can just not refuse. They should be very understanding. Heck , if it is that bad, they may ask where you are going and if you would keep them in mind. I used a similar strategy when I left my last job. They asked me "What can we do to make you say? Would a $2/hr increase keep you here?" That is the response I got. I left that job just before it shut down with a few good references, both typed and in word. Good luck

Before you leave, have a job already lined up.  Normally you should give 2 weeks notice in case you need to go back in the future.  Put your resignation in writing.  In your resignation tell them that you were grateful of the opportunity to work for them and that you learned alot.  Say that you have found another position that fits better into your future.  Do not slam them, your boss, the company, or your job.  We all want to from time to time say "Shove it!" but manners mean more than emotional outbursts.  Do the right thing and you will be a better person.

Say something like:\n\nSir, I'm sorry that you didn't think that I contributed towards the financial success of this company enough to warrant a raise.  I hope you will reconsider.  After all, I was responsible for (mention any exemplary work you performed)\n\nThen shake his hand and thank him, leave, and start looking for another job.\n\nIf you are a good employee, he will want to keep you on when you finally give him your resignation papers.  Maybe he will match or even exceed your proposed salary.  If not, then move on to somewhere where you are appreciated. \n\nYou shouldn't have to beg for a raise.  And you don't want to work for someone who doesn't appreciate you.  You will be miserable.

I was an HR Director for about 10 years, although in California and Texas, not Washington. Anyhow, it's been a while, but here goes... Technically you were insubordinate and it is likely that the unemployment officer who officiates over the phone hearing will not believe that you meant anything else by saying d*ck in an e-mail (about someone who I presume is your boss). That said, I am wondering if they actually have your signature on anything that says that you are aware that "they" (your employer) have the right to read and monitor electronic mailings sent by you. Unless they (or you since you were the office manager) are very organized they may have trouble coming up with this paperwork. They need this in order to read your electronic communications and I would bring this up to the officer unless you know for sure that they have it and can easily access it. Also, I am wondering if there is any defense you might have with regards to why you said it or the context in which it was said. Additionally, has there ever been a time that you are aware of when "they" may have set a different precedent by not firing/terming someone based on this sort of insubordination? In other words, where someone else called  a manager a name of sorts, but were either not disciplined or disciplined without termination. I also have to wonder why your employer was able to read this e-mail (did someone show it to him or did you leave your computer on) and why he bothered to log on to your computer if that's what he did? Typically, I wouldn't do this unless I had it in for the person and usually that would mean a series of write ups (I'm a GM/PM now so I still have a number of reports and remember my HR days well). Unfortunately, most companies have a policy saying that they can terminate with no notice based on certain acts, one of which is insubordination. Still, I agree with you that he sounds like a jerk if this is all he had. He would have done better to call you in and find out why you felt like that, thereby trying to find a fix for the situation and gaining your loyalty if he succeeded. Good luck!
