Resigning with style.

Here's the resignation letter a friend of mine from coles is handing in tomorrow.

Dear Barry,

After an appropriate period of deliberation, I have come to the decision to tender my resignation from Coles Supermarkets, effective 25/11/04.

Please know that I still maintain a high level of respect for you as a manager and colleague, and I thank you sincerely for the support and assistance you have offered me in each of those roles. I have been proud to work for Coles Supermarkets over the past four years; it has been a journey that has provided me an unparalleled foundation to move forward to new and exciting opportunities.

As such, I have decided to become a professional pirate. It has always been a dream of mine to live the life of a swashbuckling corsair, beholden to none and master of all I survey. Once my crew of unabashed rogues is assembled, we shall take to the capacious expanse of the high seas to pursue fortune, fame, and hair-raising adventure.

Our path may not be filled with the porcine comforts and technological marvels that Coles Supermarkets provides, but we shall nonetheless move forward to carve a name for ourselves in the annals of bold insurgency and death-defying derring-do. Once I have a keen blade at my hip and the Jolly Roger is flapping high above me, I believe I will find my true calling.

Please note that I am currently accepting applications for First Officer, if you are at all interested in applying. I will provide a full medical and dental plan, which will offer immediate coverage of all maladies other than scurvy and the occasional bout of rickets.

Sincerely,

Adam N.

Mine wasn't worth a mention.

It's Coles Supermarkets, they will love him for giving them that five minutes of excitement.

For me, there hasn't been that much excitement in at least five years. :) I'm glad I randomly came across your lj. What a way to end the night--and possibly a job. ;) Thank you.

I found your journal with the 'Random' button too - I have to say that is bloody hilarious! Especially the "immediate coverage of all maladies other than scurvy and the occasional bout of rickets." bit. Tee hee...

I shall go now... :)
