My last resignation letter went like this:
So basically, you need to say
1) That you're resigning
2) That you intend to work your notice, and what your expected leave date is.
3) Its nice to say that you're sorry to be leaving, but not essential.

Dear Chris,
Please take this letter as formal notice of my resignation from my post atLtd.
As you are no doubt aware, I have been in the process of buying a property in Basingstoke with my girlfriend and it is my intention to move there and begin work as a contractor.
In accordance with my contract I will continue to work at

Just found one from an older job that was a little less curt:
Hope that helps.

Hope that helps.
Always try to be nice ie enjoyed working at the company made some great freinds, will miss the firm. Just in case you ever want to go back. I ended up working at the same firm three times the last time I made sure that my bridges were not so much burnt as napalmed.
I think the day went
napalmed. I think the day went

Not just in case you might go back, most industries/locations are small, and you'll meet the same people in other companies later on... you really don't want to go for an interview with your 'old' boss who you told where to go...

Superb. Have you seen their resignation letter of the month? Worthy of CarZee!

Dear X,
After just over a year of mortgaging my soul to your infernal regime, I have finally come to my senses and realised that your poisoned chalice of a pay packet is no longer worth the agony required to work for it, nor is it worth the sacrifice of my time, morals and any kind of life outside of work I might dare consider having.
This was a relatively straightforward decision complicated solely by the fear that my future career might suffer from my leaving without another job to go onto. However, you will be gratified to know that your regular motivational memoes have finally motivated me to do something for once, namely tender my resignation. The senseless assassination of the English language, criminal overuse of punctuation marks, bad grammar, horrifying spelling and forced joviality which are apparently meant to make us into more skilled, enthusiastic and hungry workers have finally taken their toll. It's too late for me, but if there is any tender feeling in that cold, black piece of rock that passes for your heart, take pity on my soon to be ex-colleagues and take note of the following.
Your and you're are two separate words, not alternate spellings of the same word. Same applies to their, there and they're.
Affect is a verb. Effect is a noun. Note the difference.
Is it really necessary to end every sentence with five punctuation marks?
There is no justification on this earth for fifteen exclamation marks in a row.
Acronyms and jargon are no substitute for the ability to think.
Knowing obscure facts about the company and what all the terms you and your superiors invent at your little away-days is no substitute for being able to do the job properly. My colleagues would appreciate it if you stopped chastising us for not knowing what KPI stands for, and acting as if ignorance of that fact renders us incapable of doing anything right.
Repeating the phrase "sort your life out" every time you see us does not count as effective management support.
In closing, I would also like to point out that losing some weight, dropping the mockney accent and acquiring some real interpersonal skills (as opposed to what the latest management textbooks tell you employees appreciate) may well help you retain employees, acquire a clue and possibly even a life, and who knows, maybe even lose your virginity one day. But until then, you'll remain just another 21 year old arts graduate with no skills who's been shunted into management because it means you have fewer peers to piss off and those peers are all busy working in their own departments well away from you.
Farewell and good riddance from your elder and better,
Sincerely,
Disgruntled Employee of the Month

The venom even came across as bitter self pity, not natural superiority, the latter being eminently preferable.

Dear faceless corporate entity:
As you are doubtless unaware, many of your corporate decisions over the past few years seem to be guided by a confusing mix of one part tidal forces, one part astrology, and one part the mad ravings of some of our institutionalised clients. Many of your former staff have elected not to accompany you in your corporate journey of snatching defeat from the jaws of victory. I intend to join them.
Please accept this letter as official notification of my resignation. This letter serves as four weeks notice, with my last day in the office being 28 February 1997. Please note that my last day of work will commence immediately. As you have continued to suck the life from me for the last four years, I'll continue to suck a paycheque from you for the next four weeks.
I have valued my tenure with this office (but the fact that I no longer do so is why I'm leaving). I wish you continued success in your goals to turn vibrant, productive, dedicated employees into an aimless, shambling group of dry, lifeless husks.
Respectfully submitted,
Couldn't let this one pass. Its the last one I'll post. Honest guv.

Dear mother,
After nine months tenure as your unborn child, I feel it's high time to quit my current (foetal) position and head out into the real world. I should let you know now that events almost conspired to compel my departure last month, but I decided at the time that such a course of action would have been premature. My quarters have been somewhat cramped for a while now and I feel that I have been kept in the dark about, well, everything.
All that remains is to blow that thick white mucus out of my face holes and I'll be out of here. You'll probably have the last laugh as I scream my tiny fluid-filled lungs out when my arse is soundly slapped by an anonymous medic. I hope we will be able to maintain cordial relations over the next two decades or so.
Your sincerely,
?
PS I should let you know in confidence that my colleague Mr Placenta is likely to quit the womb shortly after my severance.

Ah, you left off (since you work in IT);
Please note that I have changed all root passwords, destroyed all recent backups and original OS / application media.

Suck my fat one and may you rot in hell.
