Dear  _______________:

 

It is with mixed emotions, yet with firm conviction, that I write this letter of resignation.

 

My association over the past _____ years with this excellent firm and its many wonderful people has been a significant part of my professional as well as my personal life.

 

Please understand that I have made this decision to leave _________________________________ only after considerable deliberation and discussion with my family, and only because I feel that an excellent opportunity to significantly further my career path as well as to help me achieve my personal goals has presented itself.

 

I am, therefore, resigning from __________________________________________ effective _______________, 19__.  This will allow me sufficient time to complete current commitments to the company prior to commencing with my new employer on ________________, 19__.

 

In the interim, I will work with you and the staff to affect an easy transfer of functions to other department members.

 

I hope that you will understand and accept my decision, and that I will have your support in making this change as easy as possible for the staff.

 

Sincerely,
