Dear John,

Please accept this letter as my formal resignation as Marketing Analyst with XYZ Corporation.

Per my employment contract, I hereby give one months notice. I propose a finish date of January 1 2000.

I have thoroughly enjoyed my five years with XYZ Corporation, but have secured a position nearer my home, which will lessen the burden of commuting through city traffic on a daily basis.

I would like to take this opportunity to thank XYZ Corporation for the many opportunities it has afforded me.

Sincerely,

[Signature]
