Resignation
Dear Ms. Jennifer Clark:
Please accept this letter as notice of my resignation from my position as Web developer. My last day of work will be November 14, 2026.
Please let me know when and how I will receive my final paycheck, including payment for any unused vacation time where applicable, and information about continuing my health coverage (COBRA) and my retirement account.
Thank you for the opportunities I have had. I am happy to help with the transition during my remaining time.
Sincerely,
Maria Gonzalez
