It is up to you to end your relationship as
professionally as you began it. Write a letter that expresses your thanks for the
opportunity to progress in your career and to respect your decision to resign. Put it in
your own words and either mail it personally or hand it to your immediate supervisor. Be
pleasant, but firm in sharing your decision.
