Want to use this letter?
Dear Chief Patterson,
Please let this letter serve as my resignation from the Atlas Volunteer Fire Department effective two weeks from September 1, 2014. This decision was not easy for me but I have decided to go back to school to improve my employment situation and better provide for my family, which leaves no time for being a volunteer fireman.
In my time with the department, I have meet many wonderful friends and felt as though I was doing my best to support the community. I also enjoyed all of the community events the department would participate in and the chance to march each year in the Thanksgiving Day parade.
I have already discussed my intentions with the rest of my colleagues and they understand the situation. I do apologize if this leaves you in a tough situation, but I had to make the choice that was best for me and my family. I will cherish my time with the department and will look upon the mementos I have accumulated with pride.
If you need to discuss this with me any further or you need more details, please feel free to call me at 555-342-6543 or email me at archiewalters@email.com. I would be more than happy to answer any questions or provide any information that would make this process easier.
Sincerely Yours,
Archie P. Walters
