RE: Resigning from Post of Teacher
Dear Mrs McGonagall,
I am writing to inform you of my decision to resign from the post of high school science teacher at Minton High School. Please accept this letter as 3 months’ notice as stipulated in the contract.
I want to make a change in my career by switching over to teaching college students at the graduate level. To this end, I have enrolled for a PhD in botany. As you are well aware this entails a lot of research and paper presentation which I will not be able to do with a full time job.
I joined Minton High on 21st March 2005, and the 8 years I taught here have been very fulfilling, and I have gained much wisdom from my colleagues and my students as well.
As the Board which has to approve the resignation meets in August, I shall continue with my teaching responsibilities for grades 8, 9, and 10 till 30th September 2013 which will be my last working day.
I take this opportunity to thank you, the School Board, and my fellow teachers for all the support given to me during my tenure.
Thanking you
Yours truly
Alfred Flitwick
