Dear xxxxxxxxx:

Effective February 8, 2007, I resign from my position as xxxxxx.

I?ve enjoyed my time working for xxxxxxxxxx with a superb supervisor such as you. Your wonderful leadership style and personality brings out the best in everyone. In my short tenure here, I believe I?ve gained valuable experience that will benefit me in future endeavors I pursue. Thank you for the opportunity to work for such a fine organization.

Due to exigent personal circumstances, please accept my apologies for not being able to tender a two-week notice of resignation.


Thank you again,

xxxxxxx
 
flowery language wont replace the standard two-week notice for leaving a job on good standing.. unless the supervisor's not too worried about the current staffing situation I'm not sure how great of a reference you'll get (that is, if you even care)

Talking so highly of the supervisor.
 
What type fo job are you quitting, letter may not be necessary. Either way keep it simple. I would write something like this.

Dear XYZ,

I regretfully resign from my job for personal resons effective immediately. I apologize for not giving a proper 2 weeks notice. You are a good boss and I enjoyed working here.

Best Regards

The flowery language makes it seem like the 'exigent' circumstance is a lie and that you are trying to make up for the fact by being blatantly obsequious.

"Dennis Miller: I don't wanna go on a RANT here but America's foreign policy makes about as much sense as Beowolf having sex with Robert Fulton at the first Battle of Antetum. I mean when a neo-conservative defenstrates it's like Raskalnakov filibuster dioxymonohydrostinate.
Peter: What the hell does RANT mean?!"
 
Kroze,

Kroze/doze..........LOL!!

Due to exigent personal circumstances requiring an immediate move out of state, please accept my apologies for not being able to tender a two-week notice of resignation.

That's what I'd submit. Gets the point across without seeming too superfluous on the compliments. It's fine to use exigent in this situation; just all of the adjectives (superb, wonderful, fine, valuable, etc..) tended to give the notice a poor overall tone.

Also, employers usually don't care about you or the experience or how it will help you get a better job in the future 😉
