Dear Mr. Whitman,
Please accept this letter as my official resignation from Whitman, Johnson and Associates Law Firm. I have been offered a partnership position with another firm and will be ceasing my employment here as of April 28, 2015.
I feel this career move is one that will allow much growth for my future. I truly value my time here at the firm and thank you so much for every opportunity I have gained. I know I am now well-prepared to serve my clients and become a respect leader in the profession.
I will do all I can to ensure that my departure is as seamless as can be, and I am happy to assist in transferring my duties to colleagues. I also will be sure to complete any outstanding assignments and communicate with my clients regarding my resignation. You can always reach me by phone at 000-000-0000 should you require anything further.
Best,
Jonathan White
