While I have changed jobs before I have never had to write an email informing my boss, her boss, his boss and his boss of this (This apparently has to go waaaaaaay up the food chain)

I am planning on thanking them for the opportunity to work for them and letting them know that I learned a lot. However, due to financial considerations I will be seeking another opportunity elsewhere.

I don't want to burn any bridges and may consider comming back later (for a different position.

Any advice would be welcome.

Something like this:

Dear Sir(s):

I regret to inform you that effective <day>, xx/xx/xx, I will resign my position with <company name>. I have enjoyed the opportunities afforded me here and appreciate the wealth of knowledge I have learned. It has been a pleasure to work with all of you and hope to cross paths once again.

Sincerely,


Name


*P.S. Kiss my a$$, suckers. I'm outtie!




* this is an optional addition to the letter

Be brief, straight to the point, and be respectful. Don't give any unecessary information though, like why you're leaving or where you're going.

Don't worry, I will be sure to treat my email a bit more carefully than a post in ATOT

slsmnaz: Yeah, I was offered another job last week
