Is this an Appropriate Resignation Letter?

Dear [Boss's Name].

As required by my contract of employment, I hereby give you two weeks' notice of my intention to leave my position.

I have decided that it is time to move on. This was not an easy decision and took a lot of consideration. However, I was examining what other people have done at my age, and realized that I will never achieve at the level that they have, as en employee of [Company].

For your perspective, here is what others have done by 27:

Kurt Vonnegut, Jr. dropped out from his job at General Electric to become a full-time writer.

Henry David Thoreau went off for two years to live alone in a cabin at Walden Pond.

Cosmonaut Yuri Gagarin became the first person in space.

Memphis millionaire Frederic W. Smith, whose father built the Greyhound bus system, founded Federal Express.

Scottish botanist David Douglas discovered the Douglas fir.

Ernest Hemingway published his first novel, The Sun Also Rises.

Boston dentist William Morton pioneered modern anaesthesiology after learning that inhalation of ether will
cause a loss of consciousness.

Please be assured that I will do all I can to assist in the smooth transfer of my responsibilities before leaving.

I wish both you and [Company] every good fortune and I would like to thank you for having me as part of your team. I have truly enjoyed my time here. The team is second to none. I will miss my co-workers, especially. However, I plan to get moving towards my goals of helping to achieve world peace, and end world hunger by age 30. I figure that that would be comparable to being the first man in space or discovering the Douglas Fir.

Sincerely,
[Ex-Employee Name]

Good luck Pete!

I'm not exactly sure what it is you do Peter but best of luck to you too. This leaving your day job to pursue your dreams seems to be infectious.

As for being an appropriate resignation letter, how much of a sense of humour does [Boss's Name] have?

Thank you, gentleman. I really appreciate it.

It looks like we got some things in common. We'll have to k.i.t as we get moving. We are gonna need all the support we can get!

For the record, this letter was a joke. I certainly didn't submit this.

More later on what the future holds for the guy behind pc4media!

Thank you for your support.
