OK, I've never done this before!!! Working in the Oil and Gas industry as
I've done most of my life, I've always changed job because of a lay-off or
reorganization. So, please let me know what you think about this letter
of
resignation (besides the fact that it's full of lies! ;):

CatNipped,

I think that overall, it is good because it presents a positive note and a
concrete solution to the need for the short notice. It does not burn bridges
and will not come back to bite you in the future.

Here are a couple of suggestions:

I would change the first paragraph to read:
"I appreciate the opportunity to have worked for GCI (formerly
Container-Care International) for the past 13 months. I learned a lot
during that time and believe that I contributed positively to the business
as well."

Second paragraph combine your second and third paragraphs as follows:
"Unfortunately, I must tender to you my resignation. I have been offered a
job working at my first career choice, web architecture.

The rest of the letter looks good to me.

If you want, you could mention at the end of the first paragraph some of
those positive contributions. You don't have to go overboard, but it will
re-enforce your value to the company and will look good in your file if
anyone needs to refer to it in the future.

Just my 2 cents. Hope it helps.
Good luck in your new position.
Annie
