For someone resigning in a niche industry or a small market, maintaining positive connections with former employers and colleagues is key. This letter template explains that the writer hopes for friendly competition when crossing paths in the future.
Dear Mr./Ms. Bossname,
Thank you for accepting my resignation effective two weeks from today.
I will do everything possible to help ease in the transition, including training staff and transferring over my contacts and files.
I understand that this is a small world, and we are in a niche industry. Given the size and condition of the current market, I expect we will cross paths repeatedly. I look forward to friendly competition with no hard feelings.
I’ve enjoyed my time at the company, and appreciate your guidance along the way.
Sincerely,
Your Name
