I regretfully have to inform you that, after much thought, I have decided to resign and please accept this letter as a formal notice of my resignation. Ask for a letter of resignation from your tour supervisor, fill it out, get them to sign it and retain your copy ….It is with sadness that I write to tell you that I am resigning from The New York Times. I joined the paper with gratitude and optimism three years ago. It's time to quit the job, and you're not giving two weeks' notice. Here's how to politely write a resignation letter, effective immediately. There's no need to include anything, either positive or negative, concerning your personal experiences in your resignation.
