Dear [manager] [moron] [survivors] [executive] [Cute secretary I've been eying off this last 6 months];
I wish to give my [notice of resignation] [smug grin] [herpes]
to [the company] [you] [your mom] [everyone], effective [immediately] [two weeks ago] [*INSERT DATE*] [full moon] [the next eclipse].
According to [the careers website I've been browsing for the last 6 months rather than doing any work] [my witch doctor] [my uncle] [the I Ching], I’m supposed to say I enjoyed working here.
Because of the [amnesia] [hangover] [gag order] [pregnancy], I can honestly say I don’t remember any times I [enjoyed myself] [was sober] [wasn't plotting a violent uprising]. It comes as a [sorry time] [relief] [sense of excitement] [court order] [religious observance] that I am leaving.
I have been offered a position at [*INSERT RIVAL COMPANY*]. The position, [General Manager] [Office Monkey] [Car Pool Administrator] [Astronaut] [Orgasm Consultant], is very [well remunerated] [exciting]. I am looking forward to developing my skills in [surreptitious napping] [stealing office stationery] [sexual harassment] [mid-level management] that I have developed over the last few
[weeks. Thanks for all the paid Personal Development.]
[months. Thanks for all the unpaid Higher Duties.]
[years. Nice merit recognition, idiots.]
[decades. Yeah, I should have written this a while ago.]
In the last performance review, we engaged in some [cross-level feedback] [Bourbon] [fisticuffs] that was designed to [facilitate communication between levels] [fulfill your reporting requirements to senior management] [make you feel better for ignoring me the other 364.5 days a year]. During this meeting I was not entirely [comprehensive] [forthcoming] [conscious]. Please allow me to provide some feedback now.
You have extraordinary levels of [in] [competence] as a manager. It was a [rewarding] [mind-numbing] [terrifying] experience working for you. Your command of [leadership] [buck-passing] [Minesweeper] was an [inspiration] [amusing foible] [object of scorn] amongst the team.
I wish you [the best of luck for the future] [catch your genitals in a zipper before a date] [would stop telling the same joke every meeting].
[Warmest regards] [Die].
