[#1381437]

So, I've accepted a new job (yay!) and need now to resign. [url= http://www.singletrackworld.com/forum/topic/resigning-from-a-job-etiquette ]Only yesterday was I offering advice on how to do it formally. [/url]. But, we don't always want to write that.

So, each of you gets to write [b]one sentence[/b] to contribute to the letter. Pretty much anything goes for this one....

I'll start:

[i]Dear Sirs[/i]

I regret to inform you of my resignation, owning to the time and effort I will require to enable a Mr Ngugi in the release of $60m from a Nigerian account.

Regards

I don't know half of you half as well as I should like, and I like less than half of you half as well as you deserve

Like it. Keep going.

Ideally, I want to be able to string the sentences together to make one long rambling exit, rather as if it had been written on a toilet roll.

Carry on.

There's a passage I got memorized. Ezekiel 25:17. The path of the righteous man is beset on all sides by the inequities of the selfish and the tyranny of evil men. Blessed is he who, in the name of charity and good will, shepherds the weak through the valley of the darkness. For he is truly his brother's keeper and the finder of lost children. And I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger those who attempt to poison and destroy my brothers. And you will know I am the Lord when I lay my vengeance upon you. I been sayin' that shit for years. And if you ever heard it, that meant your ass. I never game much thought to what it meant. I just thought it was a cold-blooded thing to say to a mother****er before I popped a cap in his ass. But I saw some shit this mornin' made me think twice.............so I'm handing in my resignation. OK?

Could we insert ",for he is truly his brother's keeper and the finder of lost children" right after "I just can't go on living this lie"? ๐Ÿ™‚

Now that I have worked my way through all the women in the company it is time to go to pastures new. Hopefully the assorted rashes and UTI will clear up but it will leave a long-lasting memory of my time with the organisation.

I have decided to become a professional pirate. It has always been a dream of mine to live the life of a swashbuckling corsair, beholden to none and master of all I survey. Once my crew of unabashed rogues is assembled, we shall take to the capacious expanse of the high seas to pursue fortune, fame, and hair-raising adventure

But I don't have a brother.... โ“

so was this the letter?

So far, you lot have until Sunday to finalise it for me. I'll then tidy up (leaving in all typos, natch), print on some nice paper and sign it with a suitable substance.

I w**ked hard for this company, often w**king harder than our competitors to win business. I dont grudge the time but I spent long hours w**king here and a little recognition would be nice.

When I left my last job I was asked to give a leaving speech, I was a bit caught out so I just wandered up and said "I have no idea why I didn't leave years ago.". Went down pretty well I thought.
