You have decided to resign from your work in order to try a new field. Write a letter of resignation to your boss. In your letter: tell your boss of your decision and explain why you are leaving explain what you have learnt from your current job and how you feel about leaving ask for a letter of reference
Dear Mr. Adam,
I am coming to you through
this
letter of resignation to let you know the whereabouts of my decision and to thank you for everything. I would like to start by saying I am grateful for all your support and the opportunities provided by this
company and by you for me. All my peers were great, friendly and overall
amazing. Even though I am elated to embark on new endeavours, I could not help but feel heartbroken about leaving all my work friends behind.
The experiences I had working with this
company were invaluable for my personal and professional development, I can clearly perceive that now. From learning how to negotiate a sale with a client to developing and deploying new systems, my adventure here was fruitful and filled with profound moments.
The reason I am leaving revolves around only one thing, new endeavors; I'm looking to bolster and forge a new future for myself now that I feel ready to reach my distant dreams; my future is right before me and I am reaching for it. This
would not be possible if not for all my time with this
amazing company I am leaving today.
Thank you very much,
James.Submitted by Danarvelini
