Resignation Letter
A Boss looking through his Mail Box was astonished to see a mail from an Employee who was supposed to be busy working at Client side on a critical project. It had the subject -
“TaTa - Bye Bye”.
With the worst premonition he opened the mail and read the content with tremblinghands:-
Dear Sir,It is with great regret and sorrow that I’m writing you, but I’m leavingthe job. The offer was too lucrative and attractive for me to turn down.I had to abscond because I wanted to avoid a scene with the HR and you.I am sorry but I had no choice. The project is working fine. There are only 108 issues pending, out of which only 38% issues are High Priority. Hence I am sure there is noneed to worry about. The next Phase of major enhancements I have been workingupon, have been completed halfway. I am sure the new person who would replaceme would not understand what all I had done so far. Hence, for his and yourconvenience, I have taken care to remove all the work that I had been doing this far for nearly 3 months now. I am sure you will appreciate my insight and “big heart”.I am of course retaining the Originals that I had retrieved for thepurpose of Passport verification with me, considering it as a parting gift fromyou. Of course, I will not pay the bond amount that I owe the company(since I Am breaking the bond). But I will consider this as a parting gift fromour Dear company. I moving out of town since the new company is situated inanother City.Also, I have changed my contact number. So you will not be able to get intouch with me, to congratulate me. But I know your blessings are alwayswith me. Last but not the least. I also have the 7000 Rs entrusted to me by ourcompany’s cultural events group, for the upcoming movie event. I amsure you would have wanted me to keep it with myself as an added bonusfrom our company. I respect you very much, hence your wish is mycommand.I thank you for that in advance, and assure you that I will surely investthem wisely (but not in your company’s stocks of course).Don’t worry sir. I am 2 years experienced now, learning so much fromyour company. So I will surely use this knowledge to write betterprograms for the new company.Someday I’m sure we will meet sometime in the future. If you wish, Iwill surely be glad to give my employee reference for you to apply for a jobin the new company which I am joining
Your faithful employee,S. W. Engineer
