resignation letter

[WD*]

Hi guys,

I finally decided that I really cannot take any more of this job and that even though I have nothing definite to move to, it is in my best interests to leave now before I snap. I have written my letter of resignation and was hoping one of you could tell me if anything needs changing...

Thanks!

Very nicely written. Says what it needs to, nothing more. Always a good policy

Sounds far more restrained than the one I am planning, don't burn your bridges and all that.

there is a lot I would like to say but for the sake of an easy life and references in the future, I am going to bite my tongue...

That is fine, I've had much worse in the past
You might want to mention something about any holiday you have left and an expected leaving date.

Well yes but it's only a little

I'm not sure if I am entitled to any: I am on a zero hour contract, and have only been there four months. I would presume that I don't have any entitlement to payment or days in leiu. Am I correct in thinking this?

[m-five]

I believe you are entitled to 4 weeks paid leave, pro-rated down to the 4 months you have been there - i.e. 4/12 x 20 days = 6.6 days!

However this could be complete bull, but that't what I got!

Acas Holiday pay and entitlements

I've had enough
I'm outta here!

www.i-resign.com is the one I used - there's a nice variety of letters from polite to downright rude
