WRITING THE RESIGNATION LETTER
The best advice on writing a resignation letter is to keep it brief. Do not go into the reasons that you are resigning or give the details of your new position. You want to leave as a professional and you do not want to burn any bridges. You never know when you may encounter your partner/manager or colleagues again in the future.
