                                 Resignation

It was four years ago today that I resigned from my job at Visual Data [1]
(who had bought the web design company I worked for a year previously) to
start working at Eminet Domain [2] (which I worked at until mid-2000). I just
found  some draft resignation letters. The first one went:

> Tuesday, July 28, 1998
>
> To Whom It May Concern:
>
> Due to the continuing product-aligned reorganization with significant third
> wave solutions and the promise of integral new downsizing and
> nondiscriminatory divisional reshuffling I do hereby give notice that I
> intend to maximize my unrealized extensive expansion into humanistic
> revenue-oriented reimbursement into seamless middle-management reassessment
> and offer to Visual Data my voluntary revenue-oriented solution to the
> continuing unfulfilled financial promises by releaving you of the ongoing
> support of my employment at this institution within the coming fortnight.
>
> Signed
>
>  
>
> Sean Conner
>  July 28, 1998
>

The other one I liked much better and actually wanted to use:

> Tuesday, July 28, 1998
>
> To Whom It May Concern:
>
> Unappreciated and
>  with a heavy heart,
>  I hereby resign.
>
> Signed
>
>  
>
> Sean Conner
>  July 28, 1998
>

but I was told to write something more traditional, but without the buzzwords
of the first draft.

Ah well …
