When resigning from a job, it’s important to keep things amicable, maintain your contacts, and, above all, to make sure your letter of resignation doubles as dessert for the office. Take a page from the playbook (er, recipe book) of soon-to-be-former Hunter’s Point Naval Shipyard employee W. Neil berrett, and pipe your letter of resignation onto a large sheet cake. That ought to cover all three goals:
Dear Mr. Bowers,
During the past three years, my tenure at the Hunters Point Naval Shipyard has been nothing short of pure excitement, joy and whim.
However, I have decided to spend more time with my family and attend to health issues that have recently arisen. I am proud to have been part of such an outstanding team and I wish this organization only the finest in future endeavors.
Please accept this cake as notification that I am leaving my position with NWT on March 27.
Sincerely,
W. Neil berrett
He says he also submitted a paper copy of his resignation, which will be easier to file. No word yet on whether he will next pursue a career as a baker-cum-career counselor.
