Dear Mr. Alex,

I am writing this letter to inform you about my resignation from Bright Ahead Company due to my retirement. My last day at work will be on June 7, 2018 so please accept this as a three-week notice to the company. Joining this company has always been my dream since I was studying in the university and I am so proud that I can join the company for real.

I have met many great people that I respect and amazing colleagues by working here and I learn a lot about being a discipline, responsible and hardworking employee. I enjoy my time during my working with Bright Ahead company. However, after my new twins were born, it is hard to handle everything at the same time. I have tried my best to go back to work for a month before finally I realized that my family needs me more. I would help the company to go through smooth transition before my leaving. Please feel free to contact me on my phone number at 111-121-222-333 if there are further questions that needs to be discussed. Once again, I thank you for the chance and I wish the bright future indeed for the Bright Ahead company.

Sincerely,
