It is with utmost (insert word here, dunno what to use yet) that I tender my resignation.
For more than five years, __________ has been my second home. For that, I thank the whole institution for accepting me into its folds.
Through the years, I have witnessed _________ grow. I would like to think that in my own little ways, I have contributed to its growth. However, I feel that now is the time for new changes in my personal life. I feel that I have done my part and must now move on to let others do theirs.
There is a personal need for me to find a field more suitable to my background. Moreover, I would like to grow as a writer as well. ________, sad to say, is not the proper venue for that. I remember what Dr.___________, himself, told me when he interviewed us at the President's Office back in early 20__. He had asked all of us about our future plans and aspirations. I told him I was going to be a writer. To this, he said, "You should do it as early as now." Those were simple words, but wise. I now intend to follow his advice.
It is, thus, that I tend my resignation. For the school to have ample time to find a replacement, and for myself to settle accounts and unfinished work, I then ask that termination of my contract starts in January.
Again, my gratitude for the opportunities ________ has given me. It has been my pleasure to have served _________ in return.
Thank you.
Respectfully,
(my name)"
*Now, all I gotta do is find the right time to submit the letter this week and when to tell my mother. She won't be mad (after all, I'm not the breadwinner), but she's going to be worried.
