RE: Letter of Resignation. Do not submit a letter of resignation.Have them issue a letter of termination due to position being eliminated requiring you being laid off. Below you'll find a sample resignation letter informing the employer that the employee is resigning due to a new job opportunity. Law, OCGA Section 34-8-190(c), to provide the employee with this. Commence your letter with a formal salutation and a concise introductory paragraph.
