Hi E,
I forgot to ask what form these letters usually take. What information should be included? Is there a standard length? (Will 4-5 pages be enough?) Do you prefer MLA or APA style citations? Do I get bonus points for including video / audio?
I just want to make sure I do a good job,
Thanks!

Ray,
You’re so thorough! The minimum is one or two sentences stating that you are leaving the University and when your last day of employment will be. Here’s an example :
I am writing to inform you of my decision to resign from ASU. effective (insert date). I have greatly enjoyed working for you for the past years. I feel that I have learned a lot, and grown professionally during my time in your employ.
Thank you for your understanding of my decision to leave the company, and all your support over the years. I wish you all the best for your continued success.
Please feel free to contact me with any questions about the projects I have been working on.
Respectfully,
Once your supervisor accepts your resignation, I receive a copy (email) and I’ll respond by sending you, and your supervisor, information for separating employees.
