Dear Sir,
I am writing to inform you of my decision to resign as Junior Lecturer from St.Patrick’s College with effect from 01-09-2013, three months from now.
I have enrolled for a Ph.D. in Theoretical Physics and will require doing a lot of research, which will leave me with no time for a full-time job. The four years I spent at St.Patrick’s have been enriching, educative and entertaining as well. I am thankful to my seniors, colleagues and the students, who make life in a college so colorful.
I will miss teaching here, and it is with great regret that I am writing you today. I hope that in a few years when I too have a ‘Dr’ prefixed to my name, I may be re-considered for the post of Professor at St.Patrick’s.
I have saved my prepared notes on a DVD, which can be handed over to my replacement. I have also copied the assessment result files on it to make their job easier.
Please don’t hesitate to email me at howard.wolowitz@live.us for any queries.
With best regards,

Dear Sir,
RE: Resignation Letter.
I am writing to inform you of my resignation from my position of Science Teacher at Cherry View High School with effect from 19th August 2010. My decision is prompted by an offer to do research leading to my Ph.D. at the prestigious Los Angeles State University in the fall.
This is a golden opportunity for me to improve my skills and career development. I request for a quick approval on my release so that I may facilitate the passing over of duties to my replacement as well as preparing for the term commencement.
It has been a pleasure working at Cherry View High these past three years. I have enjoyed teaching and developing the bright young minds here with a fantastic group of colleagues and management.
It is with regret to be leaving Cherry View High. I thank you for your great support during my time here.
Thank you for your kind understanding.
With Best Regards,
