Resignation letter (was Re: [SunRescue] The Question.)

[Peter Joules]

I use a very similar format:

Title of manager
Address of company


Dear <line manager>,

I hereby give notice of my intention to terminate my contract of employment
on <date>.  

Yours sincerely


<Me>


I am intrigued to see that it is illegal in some countries for a 30 day
notice period to be enforced.  In the UK it is usually one calendar month
but can be longer  in some cases.

Regards
Pete
