I just got a fantastic job with a competitor. It's a huge step up for me. I know my boss will walk me out the door tomorrow when I hand in my resignation. I am excited and sad at the same time.

Any advice on writing the letter? bigsmile drinker

Keep it short and don't burn your bridges.

Just write the letter. Be professional and don't use "emotional" language when writing it.

State the facts. Be professional. No one can fault you for pursuing a better opportunity.

Congrats on your new position! flowerforyou
As previously stated, keep it short, but include a statement something to the effect that your "time with this company was invaluable and you appreciate the opportunity of working with such a great team...etc."
That way you leave with the respect of your boss and he knows that you appreciate him.

I would write it as respectful as possible, then rubber band it to a brick and throw it through the front door of the business
