Writing a resignation letter can be a quick and easy job. A well written letter will allow you to leave your job with style and grace.
What to Say in Your Resignation Letter
If you have already had a discussion with your boss on this situation, you can restate your discussion in one or two lines on your letter.
You can address any special or outstanding issues in your resignation letter. You can also state your willingness to provide any help the employer might need while transitioning to a new employee.

January 20, 2005 Dr. Tom Watson Stanford Clinic 620 East 17th Street Princeton, NJ 08540
Dear D r. Watson:
In accordance with our discussion, I hereby give you my two weeks notice of my intention to resign from my nursing position.
I have found a position at Allied Hospital that will give me a chance to put my Forensic Nursing knowledge I received in college to work. I am eager to gain more skills and advance further in my career. I would like to reiterate my pleasure at having worked at Stanford Clinic. The learning and growing opportunities I received at this clinic are invaluable to me and I will remember my experience here for the rest my life.
Sincerely,
Ronald G. Ehrenberg

Remember to be polite and cordial in your letter. Maybe you hated your job and are glad to quit. However writing statements like "I am glad of getting rid of this horrible place and I hope I never come back here again" is probably not a good idea.
If you leave on a positive note, you will in a better position with your boss.
At the very least you may need to utilize your network at the job you are leaving or you may need a reference note from your employer. A kindly thank you on a resignation letter will keep you in the good graces of your ex-employers.
