Use a letter of resignation to create good will and good references for yourself. Make sure you don't leave "kicking and screaming." Your career might never recover.

DATE: October 4, 20––
PRISCILLA,
It is with deep regret that I must tender my resignation to you, the Communications Department at Telectronics as of Thursday, October 18, 20––.
Over these last 14 months, I've grown very fond of Telectronics. In our day-to-day operations, I've become proud of being part of a company whose individuals and products are leaders in medical science and technology in the marketplace. This past year has been a very positive experience for me, and I will truly miss all of you.
But due in great part to my financial position, I must now move on in my career. I do hope, however, that we can continue our professional relationships and that I can be of assistance to you and Telectronics in the future.
Thank you, sincerely,
Craig Lincoln
