545731
the last place i left, i wrote a letter that stated my real reasons for leaving. my boss cut my hours because i took vacation when it was "inconvienent for her" i had seniority over everyone including my boss. i felt i should have been able to take vacation when i wanted to. you should write the letter with the exact reasons for your leaving. maybe they don't know what's going on or why they can't keep help and maybe they'll realize the error of their ways if you let them know exactly why u are leaving.

I have done this once. I made it short, simple, and to the point. \nI told my employer at the time, " I absolutely love working for you, but it's time for me to move on." I explained that I had an amazing opportunity working in the field in which I had only dreamed.  Not only did it pay for more; it was better for me, and my family.  He was truly saddened by the news.  I finished out my last days with no problem at all.  I even trained my replacement.  I made sure she knew exactly what to do, and even wrote down every thing step by step for her.  \nIt was bitter sweet.  But I knew that I could always come back If I ever need a job.

Dear Sir:\n   This letter is to inform you that I will be taking a leave of Absence beginning date and plan to return on date.  And maybe extend it by stating your reaso for a leave of absence. Thank him/her kindly.

i would say just write it from the heart, dont try and sound posh or use big words if this is out of character it wont be so meaningful then. start by writing down on paper all the advantages of being out  and make the letter from the list.  hope it helps. let us know how he gets on

It is best to write it yourself, as you know the person leaving and can give it that personal touch that no cut-and-paste source will provide.  It doesn't have to be more than a couple of minutes!

Just write it on piece of paper or ask someone at your job

I just fired someone three weeks ago for thier miserable attitude.  \n\nList only facts, not your opinion or heresay from others.  Explain how this behavior effects your work, your departments team environment and reflects to outside customers on the company. \n\nPutting it in writing is good because you have the ability to erase... be careful not to sound like a complainer or whiner, but someone who is concerned about the work environment and how it could be better. \n\nThen, know that someone will have a talk with her and she may then get a worse attitude toward you because of this.

Write a nice letter to your boss, then go in and give it to him/her and sit down and have a chat. Explain how much you've enjoyed working with them but say that, as in life generally, sometimes you have to move on. Keep it friendly and stress what a good boss they have been and how much you have learned. Also offer to help with recruitment for your replacement. It's very hard and I've been in the same position - you feel personally responsible for letting them down - but try not to feel like that. It is only a job after all. Good luck and enjoy your new job!

I'm writing you this letter to tell you that I'm leaving you for good. I've been a good woman to you for seven years and I have nothing to show for it. These last two weeks have been hell. Your boss called to tell me that you had quit your job today and that was the last straw. Last week, you came home and didn't notice that I had gotten my hair and nails done, cooked your favorite meal and even wore a brand new negligee. You came home and ate in two minutes, and went straight to sleep after watching the game. You don't tell me you love me anymore, you don't touch me or any thing. Either you're cheating or you don't love me anymore, whatever the case is, I'm gone.\n\nP.S. If you're trying to find me, don't. Your BROTHER and I are moving away to West Virginia together! Have a great life!\n\nYour EX-Wife\n\nDear Ex-Wife\n\nNothing has made my day more than receiving your letter. It's true that you and I have been married for seven years, although a good woman is a far cry from what you've been. I watch sports so much to try to drown out your constant nagging. Too bad that doesn't work. I did notice when you cut off all of your hair last week, the first thing that came to mind was "You look just like a man!" My mother raised me to not say anything if you can't say anything nice. When you cooked my favorite meal, you must have gotten me confused with MY BROTHER, because I stopped eating pork seven years ago. I went to sleep on you when you had on that new negligee because the price tag was still on it. I prayed that it was a coincidence that my brother had just borrowed fifty dollars from me that morning and your negligee was $49.99. After all of this, I still loved you and felt that we could work it out. So when I discovered that I had hit the lotto for ten million dollars, I quit my job and bought us two tickets to Jamaica. But when I got home you were gone. Everything happens for a reason I guess. I hope you have the filling life you always wanted. My lawyer said with your letter that you wrote, you won't get a dime from me.\n\nSo take care.\n-----------------------------------------------------------------\nA big earthquake with the strength of 8.1 on the Richter scale\nhas hit Mexico.

Going back to your contract, you said it doesn't mention a method of resignation, but you didn't say if the contract states if you're required to be there x amount of time.  Pour over it very carefully.  We cannot give you a definitive answer without actually knowing every word in your contract, so it wouldn't matter if someone who answered was familiar with the law or not.\n\nAs far as walking in and quitting tomorrow, it's simply just poor business etiquette to not give an employer any notice of resignation.  It only makes you look bad, especially for any future references.  Any decent new employer would respect the fact that you need to give notice to your current employer.

you have to talk directly to your boss, do not send a letter it would make it formal and discourteous specially when taking into account the kind of relations you have with him.\ni would suggest you ask your boss for the notice period he thinks he needs till he gets a replacement. this is the least you can do if he was that good to you and your family. assure him that you would give whatever training needed to the replacing employee or that you would be available anytime they need you or need any information from you.\nbe honest about your reasons for leaving, if he has been that caring so far, i guess he would remain!\ngood luck

Never open with "Dear Sir"\n\nGet the name of the person to whom you are writing.\n\nDear Mr. Jones:\n\nWhich job search website? Be specific.\nWhich company? Either put "your company" or include the company name. \n\n"I am a full-time student attending Coastal Carolina University working towards a bachelor's degree in Hospitality Management."\n\nThe middle section is far too long. Cut it up. It's also incredibly repetitive.\n\n"Working in the hospitality industry for over a year, I have ...managed? Increased? Etc..."\n\nBasically, you're not telling them why they should hire you, which is what you need to do. You are telling them ABOUT you and what you are looking for. They don't care about that--they just care why you would be an asset to their company.\n\n You need to relook at it--do not try to butter them up, and you need to make this cover letter POP above all the other cover letters.

Avoid memo format. . . it's great for business, but this is a personal thing.  Highlight the times you enjoyed, the excellent experience you gained and the opportunities you relished.  You might consider mentioning that your decision to move on was a difficult one considering the quality of the management and the work environment.  Do not get mushy, but keep it personal and genuine.
