I am very sorry to hear that you will be leaving your position as customer service representative this coming June, but I want to thank you for giving me sufficient advance notice so that I can find a qualified replacement.

On behalf of management, I hereby accept your resignation effective Thursday, November 15.

I received your resignation this morning and, as you requested, will grant it immediately. However, I would like to arrange a meeting with you to discuss your reasons for leaving Doe International on such short notice.

I was both saddened and pleased to learn of the job offer that you recently received from Doe Corporation as their new advertising representative. Of course, it is an offer that you can't turn down. I am only sorry that we do not have a similar position for you here in our firm. I therefore accept your resignation as graphic designer effective March 1.

Doe Corporation accepts your resignation and regretfully releases you from your duties effective two weeks from today. We thank you for giving adequate notice of your decision to leave the company.

This morning, regretfully, I received your letter of intent to resign from your position as administrative assistant. I accept your resignation and appreciate your giving me sufficient notice in time to find a competent replacement.

We are genuinely sorry to receive your letter of resignation informing us of your departure on June 5. We will miss you very much.
