Sample 1:
Experiences over the past several months convince me that I must resign from my position as counselor, effective no later than two weeks from today. When I was initially hired at Doe Corporation, I thought that this was a company with values similar to my own. But poor compensation, infrequent raises, uncompensated overtime, routine layoffs, and an excessive workloads have convinced me otherwise. I believe the relationship between a company and its employees should be mutually beneficial. Unfortunately, Doe Corporation exploits its employees. I cannot, therefore, in good conscience, work for a company that so grossly undervalues the worth of its employees.

I want to thank you, however, for being a wonderful supervisor. I appreciate your taking the time to discuss with me the concerns I have had. I know you did everything you could to improve our working conditions, but the fact that your efforts have been persistently ignored is indicative that things are not about to change. I sincerely hope that my resignation does not reflect adversely upon you in any way.

Two weeks should be enough time for me to complete my assignments. Because Doe Corporation does not typically replace those who quit, my duties will be assimilated in the usual way. Nonetheless, I will gladly ensure that my more difficult accounts are settled before I leave.

Sample 2:
Regretfully I inform you that I must resign from my position as a counselor effective immediately.

Three weeks ago my supervisor informed me that a co-worker was criticizing my work. According to my superiors, she searched through my personal files and work bins. She then alerted my supervisor and the office manager about violations of company policy and file errors which I had allegedly committed. Although I may have erred unintentionally, I think it is grossly negligent to allow another employee to wantonly rummage through my desk without my consent. Such acts infringe upon my right to privacy, and I am disturbed that I was not notified of the situation immediately. Repeated attempts to remedy this incident have met with disappointment. Your unwillingness to challenge this violation of my privacy makes it impossible for me to feel secure working at Doe’s.

Because I have enjoyed working here, my decision to resign is intensely upsetting. The work is both exciting and challenging. During my tenure I have gained important skills which will be useful for years to come.

I regret that circumstances necessitate a hasty departure. However, to allow my successor to assume my duties without undue effort, I am leaving detailed instructions which explain how to fulfill each responsibility.

Sample 3:
Please accept this letter as official notification of my intent to resign from my position as a counselor two weeks from today.

Ever since Doe Corporation chose a new manager, I have been in turmoil. The relationship between employee and manager should be one of mutual respect and support. Instead, our current manager uses bullying, excessive force, and verbal abuse as a management style. Unfortunately, this style directly opposes my personal business philosophy which advocates a more sensitive approach. Not only is it unconscionable for me to work in such a hostile environment, but it is also physically and mentally debilitating to work under such stressful circumstances.

Resigning for these reasons is extremely disconcerting, but, given the circumstances, I don’t feel I have much choice. Senior management does not seem troubled by John’s abusive behavior toward his underlings and I, therefore, doubt that changes are imminent. The enjoyment I derived from my position and the fact that the training here is superior to that of other companies make this decision especially difficult. I sincerely hope to find another position as rewarding as this one.

Two weeks should be ample time for me to orient a replacement as well as fulfill my obligations. If I can do anything else to facilitate an orderly transfer of duties, please let me know as soon as possible.
