How to write a letter of resignation
如何写辞职信
Writing a letter of resignation can be difficult, depending on the circumstances. For one thing, it’s hard to strike just the right tone
Even if you’re leaving a position because you’re not happy or making enough money, you don’t want to risk alienating
your superiors or co-workers. You never know when you might want to ask one of them for a reference or recommendation.
在不同的情况下，写辞职信可能是一件非常难的事。一方面，写辞职信时很难表达真实的想法。也许您离开是因为工作得不开心，也可能是赚的钱足够多，但是无论是哪种情况，您都不想因为辞职信疏远上级或同事。说不定将来的某个时候自己还需要请人家写推荐信或给出建议。
The best tactic is to keep your resignation letter simple:
写辞职信最好的一个方法就是让辞职信尽可能言简意赅：
use company letterhead
使用公司信封
state only the barest facts
仅陈述最基本的事实
date your letter
标明日期
state the date on which your resignation is official
and the position you’re resigning
写明辞职的正式日期以及辞职的职位
sign it and hand (or send) it to the appropriate person
签名并将辞职信交给（或发给）合适的人
