Dear [insert bosses name here],
I am writing to inform you that it is with grave excitement that I am deciding to resign.
I would like to take this chance to thank you for the immense opportunity, and the endless hours of time you invested in training and supporting me. I would also like to apologise for if I ever looked interested.
I have put considerable thought into this move and can reassure you it was no rash decision; I’ve been thinking about it for the past 18 months, which as you know is the entire duration of my employment.
In case you would like to know a bit about what I propose to do, I have applied for university in the hope to let three years pass under the blissful ignorance of a duvet with a bottle of Budweiser Sellotaped to my head/ bought a wagon and a piebald cob and hope to make a living stealing metal parts off people’s motor vehicles/ learned six songs on the guitar and plan to stand outside the subway singing ‘Wonder Wall’ [delete as appropriate] ; plus, I’ve got a massive back log of socks to pair.
Please accept this correspondence as notice of my six week resignation period, beginning from the date of this letter.
Yours sincerely and honestly,
[Insert your name here]
