If you find yourself in the position of resigning while your boss is out of town, this letter can be directed to the attention of human resources or upper management.
Dear Mr./Ms. Bossname,
I’m reaching out to you because my immediate supervisor, Marvin Middlemanager, is on vacation.
An opportunity has come up, and I must tender my resignation. I wanted to let the company know as soon as possible. I’m able to give the standards two weeks’ notice.
I regret the timing of my resignation, but I believe that we have things well in hand here at the department, and I am already preparing materials that will ease my coworkers in the transition.
I am copying my boss on this letter so that he can review it upon his return. Thank you for your assistance in this matter.
Sincerely,
Your Name
