I'm notoriously bad at writing and spelling, Im just wondering if anyone could let me what they think of the below letter. I'm trying to make it sound fairly formal, I dont want burn any bridges, but i dont want to sound like I'm buttering them up eather. ------------------------- Letter of Resignation To **** : I'm writing to inform you that I will soon be ending my employment with **** as I have accepted a new job. I am giving you a longer than standard notice do to my having planned time off in August. My last day of work will be Friday August 25, and I would very much appreciate a letter of recommendation from you before then. My primary reason for leaving is that I feel it is not in my best interest to continue working for **** in the long term. This is due to the limited machining capabilities, the age and condition of machinery, and the inability to further along my career. My time here has for the most part has been pleasant, I'd like to say thanks to the office staff for being friendly and treating us well in the back. My best wishes to **** and its staff in the future Thank you, ******
It's not that bad. I corrected the spelling of one word (which I bolded), deleted a couple of unnecessary words, moved the word "the" in a sentence, and fixed some punctuation errors. Feel free to copy version below and use it, if you wish.
