I am sorry to inform you that circumstances dictate I must resign from my position as Division Manager. I prefer to leave at the end of this week, if that is convenient. If not, I will gladly comply with the company’s request to give two weeks termination notice.

Each year my financial obligations have increased; unfortunately, my salary here has not been able to keep up with these demands.

I have enjoyed the challenges presented here at Doe’s, and I sincerely hope that I have returned a significant portion of that which I have received.

I would be happy to help you find and train a suitable replacement. Because my projects are current and because I have left detailed instructions illustrating how to perform my job duties on my desk, my successor should have little difficulty assuming my responsibilities. Please let me know if there is anything else I can do to help make this a smooth transition.

Although I have accepted a position in another field, it does not detract from the fact that my job at Doe’s has provided me pleasure as well as insight into my hopes for the future. I have enjoyed working with all of my friends here, and I want to thank everyone for their support over the years.

When my resignation date arrives, I expect all my projects to be current and my obligations fulfilled. If there is anything else I can do to help make this a smooth transition, please let me know.

Please accept this letter as official notification of my resignation from my position as Floor Manager, effective immediately. Financial considerations and a desire to further my career compel me to accept a job offer from another company more sympathetic to my present needs.

Although I am disappointed that size constraints placed upon the company deny rapid upward mobility, I feel deeply indebted to you for skills I have acquired and experience I have gained. My job here has been a great source of personal satisfaction and a foundation from which I have cultivated many irreplaceable ties with co-workers.

To ensure that the transition goes smoothly and to enable my successor to proceed without undue interruption, I will prepare project status reports and illustrate procedures necessary to complete each assignment successfully.
