Example:
“I have been offered an opportunity to work as an IT Manager abroad, 
and I have decided to accept the offer.”
4.
A sentence or two in which you thank your employer for the opportunities 
you have been given during your time with the organisation.
Example:
“I would like to thank you for the wonderful opportunities you have given 
me, both to develop my skills, and to work with such knowledgeable and 
inspiring people.”
5.
An offer to help with the transition.
Only include this if you are sincere, and don’t make any promises 
that you won’t be able to keep. You could, for example, assure your 
employer that you will finish your current projects or hand them over to 
a colleague. You could also offer to train the person who will be replacing 
you.
Example:
“During the next two weeks, I will do everything I can to ensure a 
smooth transition for the company. If required, I am more than willing to 
assist with the hiring and training of the new Assistant  IT Manager.”
6.
A suitable closing.
It is important to use a closing that is appropriate in the circumstances. 
If you have a good relationship with your  employer, you may want to 
wish him/her well for the future, and provide contact details that he/she 
can use to get in touch with you once you have left the organisation. You 
can then end your letter with a greeting such as “Kind regards,” followed 
by your signature.
