letter of job leaving notice/resignation
hi all,
as previously mentioned, i've got a new job lined up, and i need to put my notice in asap (the next hour or so!)
Does anyone have a letter they've written recently i can copy/paste/steal?
my boss already knows im leaving, and where im going, but i still obviously have to put my notice in. i was thinking something along the lines of:
please accept this letter as notice of my resignation. i'd like to thank you for giving me the opportunity to work at NTL, and i wish you all the best in the future. In accordance with my contract, i intend to leave in 4 weeks, with my last day being Friday 23rd June
Cheers

That's plenty good enough. (Have you ever read Richard Nixon's resignation letter? - http://www.watergate.info/nixon/resi...n-letter.shtml )
August 9, 1974
Dr. Mr Secretary,
I hereby resign the Office of President of the United States.
Sincerely,
[Richard Nixon]

My last job I was an employee and when I quit I didn't even bother to give a 2 weeks notice. I just left. The reason being they don't give you a 2 weeks courtesy notice when they fire you so why should I? That, and, I didn't like the company very much so I left them scrambling for a replacement.
Advice: It's probably not wise for anyone to do what I did if you're looking for another job where they may call your previous employer.

I would never give a 4 week notice again. I did that with my last "real" job and it was terrible. Two weeks is about right....
