Please help! what do u write in the letter when u want to leave ur work?
Answer:
like the song is a good way --TAKE THIS JOB & SHOV-IT
Politely explain why.
Keep it simple (and don't do it unless you have something else lined up). All you need to say is "Please accept this letter as notice of my resignation. Consider my employment with XYZ company complete on such and such date (usually 2 weeks)." Any details or explanation is unnecessary.
Keep it simple and very basic. I like what Zloar said.
How to Resign with Class
Resignation "Do's" and "Don'ts"
Shortly after you hand in your letter of resignation, a security guard, an HR rep or your boss might politely―or not so politely―escort you out the door. That's typical at large companies. On the other hand, your company might ask you to stay through your notice period. Either way, you might be watched closely in your final hours. Since last impressions can be more powerful than first, it's a good idea to do all you can to be remembered as a professional and keep your references intact. During reference and background checks, potential employers might contact your former employers as far back as ten years or more.
Below are "do's and don'ts" to avoid burning your bridges, before and after you hand in your letter of resignation. For related and supplemental topics, including resignation letter samples you may download or copy for free, just click the links within the text below. See the sidebar for more.
Resignation Do's
Do Prepare to Resign
So there's no question about what belongs to you or the company, compile your portfolio, take personal property home, and remove personal files and software from your computer before you resign. Since you might get locked out of the building and computer network soon after quitting, you might not a get a chance to do all of this. Worse, it might look just a tad suspicious if you wait until after you resign to remove stuff from your office, especially from your computer and file cabinet.
Do Give Ample and Proper Resignation Notice
The minimum resignation notice that U.S. employers typically require is two weeks, and they usually want it in writing. Check your company’s policy manual to be sure. If you don't follow company policy, not only might you burn a bridge, but you might also deprive yourself of termination benefits, such as accrued vacation pay. If you’re leaving at a particularly vulnerable time for your company, consider giving up to double the minimum notice. But, if you've got to go, that's certainly generous enough. Don't jeopardize your new job or let your current employer exploit you.
Do Offer to Help
Consider offering to
Assist in finding and interviewing your replacement
Help out until your replacement is on board
Break in your replacement
But don't make promises you can't keep and again, don't let your current employer exploit you.
Do Ask for Recommendation Letters
If they're not too ticked off that you quit, ask bosses, coworkers and direct-reports for recommendation (reference) letters, while they can still recall your finer points. Even if you've already landed a new job, look further down the road. It doesn't hurt to keep recommendation letters on file for later use. They have several advantages, the biggest of which is that you'll already know what your references have to say about you. Not everybody knows how to write effective recommendation letters or might draw a complete blank when you ask, so it's a good idea to offer samples and examples. They might be glad you did. It will also give you at least some control over the quality. One mediocre or poorly-written recommendation letter is all it takes to lose a job opportunity.
Do Say Good-Bye
Take the time to talk with each of your bosses, coworkers and direct-reports. This is especially important to help squelch nasty watercooler rumors, such as you hated your job or were pressured to resign. But keep it positive and light, while choosing your words carefully. If asked why you're leaving, make general statements such as, "It's a career opportunity I just can't pass up." Avoid expressing too much regret, as it probably won't appear to be sincere. (Why would you have submitted your resignation if you truly regretted it?) Instead, express your appreciation and say that you’ll miss working with them. If appropriate, distribute simple thank-you cards, notes or emails.
Resignation "Do's" and "Don'ts"
Resignation Don'ts
Don't Jump the Gun
Never submit your resignation letter until after you have a solid job offer in writing. There are countless stories of employees who've resigned based on verbal job offers that later fell through. How embarrassing and career-damaging might it be, to be forced to "cancel" your resignation?
Don't Display a Short-Timer's Attitude
Before handing in your resignation letter, make sure your work area and projects are in order and try to clear up unfinished business. Leave things in the same condition you'd like to see them if you were your boss or replacement. If you have to stay through your resignation notice period, conduct business as usual and give a little extra effort to wrap things up. It's not a good time to exhaust your unused vacation or sick leave days.
Don't Consort with the Boat Rockers
Some of your discontented coworkers might prod you to criticize the company, bosses or other coworkers. But it's not a good idea. You never know who you can truly trust in the backstabbing corporate world, who your next boss might be or who is eavesdropping just around the corner in the cubicle maze.
Don't Bite the Bait
Your management or HR department might ask you for "constructive criticism" during your exit interview. But they might be trying to find out the "real" reason you've submitted your resignation. (Why did they wait until you quit to ask for your opinion?) Never criticize the company or its employees, no matter how much you want to say, "Take this job and shove it!" If they ask why you're resigning, make simple, noncommittal statements such as, "It's a career move." Avoid statements that can be misinterpreted, such as "It's a more challenging career opportunity." To those ready to pounce, this seemingly-innocent statement implies that you weren't happy with the job you've resigned. It might come back on you later, during background and reference checks.
Don't Accept a Counteroffer
Of course, this is your decision. But, despite how flattering it might be, many career advisors agree that it's not a good idea to accept a counteroffer. Once you've made it perfectly clear that you want to jump ship, your loyalty will be in question. Your employer might be making a counteroffer only to take advantage of you until they find a "more dedicated" or cheaper replacement. (Why did they wait until you resigned, to offer what you're really worth to them?) Try not to encourage a counteroffer by making statements such as, "I'm resigning because I need more money." Of course, decline a counteroffer tactfully to avoid bad feelings. But, again, avoid expressing too much regret, as that might help them pressure you to stay.
Don't Feel Guilty
Employees quit all the time. No matter how guilty they try to make you feel, the company will survive without you. If you feel a guilt trip coming on, think about how the company would likely have axed you in a heartbeat without an ounce of guilt, if it was to its advantage. That happens all the time, too.
Don't Take Anything the Company Owns
This goes without saying, at least to those who aren't criminally insane. But it's just a reminder so you don't innocently overlook even simple things, like pens, calculators, manuals, CD ROMS, and other company-owned thingies you might carry in your briefcase to do your job. When compiling a portfolio of your work, make sure you're not taking proprietary information either. That's a biggie, whether or not you innocently did so. Just because you created it, doesn't mean that you own it. A company policy or your non-compete, non-disclosure or separation agreement might say who owns what, typically to the company's advantage. So, it's a good idea to be extra careful about what you take.
Hope this helps
ngina has to have the looooongest answer ever, Just simply say 'you wish to resign for personal reasons', simple. that way you wont get a hard time from the managment.
"I QUIT BECUASE YOU ALL SUCK AND I HATE YOU"
no DONT say that i was just being nasty
i suggest you tell them that you are unhappy with the path that youe life has taken you and you feel that its time to move on.
ok personally id go with what i said first up but i dont think ur as much of a *** as me so the second one would work in more ways then one if you need them to give you a referance.
mostly try to be nice and explain as clearly as possible that you feel that the position is not suited for you
What Zloar said was great, if you have other 'constructive' feedback to provide or thank yous to give, do that at an appropriate time and place with the appropriate people.
There is no need to state a reason for leaving employment, doing this will only lead to questions from management.
No need to thank them either, especially if you are not happy and that is the reason for leaving.
Keep the note short and to the point.
Example:
Date
Company Name
Att: Your Manager / HR Person
Company Address
Company Address
Dear Manager / HR Person Name,
Please accept this as my letter of resignation from Company Name.
As required I will give one weeks (or how ever long you need to give) notice making my termination date (day, date, month, year).
Regards,
Your Name
Good luck and enjoy your new role!
Greetings..
It realy depends on the circumstances which, I dont know? so, if you feel like emailing me an honest description of the general situation and any grievences you have ill mail you back what I would say..
regards akbal
You just say something like 'I hereby resign from my position as .as of . (date).
You can keep it pretty basic if you want.

Letter of Resignation
21-09-04
Dear Sal,
I hereby give notice of my intention to leave my position as rocket scientist..
I wish you and the association every good fortune and would like to thank you for having me as part of your team.
Yours sincerely,
Joe Bloggs.
I am not going to do this.
coz I really love my job.
Just tell them that you are no longer able to work for the company and you would like to thank them for the time that you have spent learning and growing as a part of that team. If you are not leaving on bad terms wish the company all the best for their future growth. That way if things don't work out for you with your new job you may still have a place there.
so long, farewell, I hate to say goodbye etc.
