S***** Yeo

Director of Sales 
Shangri-La Hotel, Singapore
22 Orange Grove Road
Singapore 258350 

Dear S*****

Please accept this letter as formal notification that I am resigning from my position as Sales Coordinator with Shangri-La Hotel, Singapore. My last day will be 17^th September 2015, Thursday.

Thank you for the opportunity to work in this position for the past one year or so. I’ve greatly enjoyed and appreciated the opportunities I’ve had to meet many of our clients, to undergo training and take on several responsibilities beyond my daily work. It has been a great pleasure working with everyone and I’ve learned so much more about interpersonal skills, sales strategies and working as a team, all of which I will take with me throughout my career and my entire life.

I will do up a handover list for my replacement in my current position and ensure that I impart all that I’ve learnt to the next candidate for him/her to fulfill his/her daily tasks as a Sales Coordinator. Please let me know if there’s anything else you’d like me to assist in the meantime too.

I wish the company and all of you continued success, and I hope to stay in touch with all of you.

Sincerely,

Justina Lim

It was the day where my countdown officially starts. I finally tendered my resignation letter.

I’ve had tons of second thoughts during this period while deciding when to tender. It was supposed to be last Friday, but then I decided to do my dental claims before I officially leave the company so I postponed the date till today (after I did my claims yesterday).

I actually had the letter ready from weeks ago, and I actually found it hard to break the news to my Boss and hand her the letter, even though she had already known of this news beforehand.

Marcus insisted to join me in my Boss’ office, and he did all the talking. It was like breaking someone’s trust and friendship to me. We had been together for more than a year; feelings were bound to develop.

And for friends who know me, I’m who gets emotionally attached very easily. Lest to say being in this place from when I was 16 till now, 5 years.

Well, the time has come for me to go so I guess there’s really no point looking back at those times.

So the countdown starts today, #34moredays.
