Mr. Bush, I have worked in the Sales Development as a salesman for six years, and I have been satisfied with this position.
However, a friend of mine introduced me to ABC Company, and I have decided to accept a post that will give me greater possibilities for promotion and an increase in my salary. I therefore write this memo as formal notice to terminate(终止) my engagement with you one month from todays date.

Dear
Effective October 1, I will assume the position of director of human resources for XXX, Inc., in Baton Rouge. Therefore, please accept my resignation as benefits and compensation coordinator of the Human Resources Department within AAA Associates, effective September 30.
The decision was a difficult one for me because I have so enjoyed my working relationships here. The job description has given me great latitude in assisting other coordinators within the human resource area, and as a result, I’ve gained skills in several related fields. These cross-training opportunities have been invaluable, and in a much more formal, classroom setting, I’ve been able to take advantage of classes in management, interpersonal skills, writing, and oral presentations. All of this training has been a worthwhile effort for both AAA (company) and me.
As I go to the new position, I’ll do so with the utmost respect for the management examples and philosophies learned here and with gratitude for the personal attention to my career growth.
Thank you for the rewarding experience I’ve enjoyed during my seven-year association with the organization.
Sincerely
