Draft resignation letter

In these times of economic woe, some people might still find a little integrity in their lives and wish to resign from a job that is going nowhere. For those people, I have drafted a resignation letter that I offer free to the world:

Dear [etc]

It is with much regret that I must now offer my resignation.

I have taken the decision to leave the comfort of full time, secure employment and I wish to enter the uncertainty of a fragile and depressed labour market. While some might call this brave, foolhardy, or even culpably reckless; I know that the experience I have gained from this job and my dealings with you all has helped to make this decision an easy one.

I take with me a unique set of skills. I can honestly say that I do not think the training and experience that I experienced at [insert]will ever be replicated in any other workplace either here or abroad, or in the future or the present or the past.

Most of all, my experience of working at [insert] with you all has left me with real life experience and has sharpened my ambitions considerably. I now desperately wish for that one day in the future when I will finally be able to work alongside informed professionals who work with skill and courtesy; real and genuine people who find time to see beyond tedious routine and adolescent bullying and incompetence. In many ways, you are all the collective measure by which I will judge my future success; the point at which sanity and humanity sits well above.

Thank you all

Yours etc etc
