One of The Best Resignation Letters

This is a legit resignation letter written by a loved and derided ex colleague whom I will hide under the name of BadAss Bastard (BAB).
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Dear Ms. (Insert AVP Name Here)

After an appropriate period of deliberation, I have come to the decision to tender my resignation from (insert company name here) effective (insert date here).

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 over the past 2 years; it has been a journey that has provided me with 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 porcine comforts and technological marvels that (insert company name) 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 Yours,

BadAss Bastard

No, my two readers, this isn't mine. I do not have this kind of gumption nor creativity.
