In a world where the average worker changes jobs and careers SEVEN times, somebody somewhere is going to be putting in their notice.
Perhaps that person is you. If so, there are good ways to quit a job and bad ways to quit. The best way to quit your job is to submit a resignation letter.
A resignation letter should be your professional notice of exit from the company. Now, there are fun ways to do a resignation letter which is a future post. For now, this covers the professional way to resign in writing.
Use this format.
Date - the date the resignation letter is delivered.
Salutation - never make your salutation generic. Put the name of the person you are addressing. If there is more than one person receiving your resignation letter, put their name in a cc; field at the top of your letter.
For example:
cc: Mary Smith - Human Resources
Jerry Jones - Supervisor/Operations
To Mr. Greg Green, CEO Wally's Wonder Widgets
The resignation notice with date and specifics in the format of a notice.
Example:
Please let this letter serve as notice of my voluntary separation from Wally's Wonder Widgets..
Include a final date.
Example:
... effective June 1, 2008.
Give notice of terms..
Example:
On or before that date, I will return my laptop, company ID, company shirt and sample case of Wonder Widgets to Mary Smith in Human Resources.
Let them know where to find you and where to send your final check.
Example:
Please remit payment for all unused vacation and personal time as well my final paycheck to my home address..
Closing.
Example:
If there are any questions or other arrangements which need to be made, please let me know at your earliest convenience.
Appreciation.
Example.
Thank you for your time and the opportunity to work with you,
Your name.
Put it all together.
Final example.

Keep your resignation letter short, to the point and effective. Let there be no ambiguity, remorse or vindictiveness in your correspondence. It will only come back to haunt you.
Now, if that is not of consequence.. Stay tuned for a more light hearted version later...

Hello everyone!
I would like to burn a theme at here. There is such a nicey, called HYIP, or High Yield Investment Program. It reminds of financial piramyde, but in rare cases one may happen to meet a company that really pays up to 2% daily not on invested money, but from real profits.
For quite a long time, I make money with the help of these programs.
I'm with no money problems now, but there are heights that must be conquered . I make 2G daily, and my first investment was 500 dollars only.
Right now, I'm very close at catching at last a guaranteed variant to make a sharp rise . Visit my blog to get additional info.

Good day, sun shines!
There have were times of troubles when I didn't know about opportunities of getting high yields on investments. I was a dump and downright stupid person.
I have never imagined that there weren't any need in big initial investment.
Now, I feel good, I started to get real income.
It gets down to select a correct partner who utilizes your funds in a right way - that is incorporate it in real business, and shares the income with me.
You can ask, if there are such firms? I have to answer the truth, YES, there are. Please be informed of one of them:
