【结构要点】
一般分为三段:
1. 说明写作目的,简单说明辞职的请求。
2. 具体阐述放弃某份工作的原因。
3. 希望对方同意自己的请求,并对辞职进行道歉。
【注意事项】
1. 辞职信要开门见山,即在第一段就明确地告诉雇主自己要辞职。
2. 第二部分应谈谈自己为什么要辞职。
3. 信的最后一段应以一些表示衷心感谢的话结束,而且要对辞职所引起的不便致歉。
4. 辞职信要写得礼貌一些,这类信件一定要写得诚恳,这样对方才容易接受。
5. 辞职信的写作方法同样适用于辞去会员资格,退出某一团体等类似书信的写作。

【经典范文】
Dear Mr.Wang,
I am writing to submit my resignation from my current position.There are a few reasons that I think important.
First of all, the salary has proven to be much lower than you originally promised, and I have a large family to support.What’s more, I want to have flexible working hours, yet there is a fixed working hour in your company.It is really exhausting for me to follow the tight schedule every day.Most importantly, I feel rather disappointed that in the past two months I do not see any chances of career development and further education.
I sincerely hope that you approve of my resignation.I am sorry for any inconvenience caused.
Yours sincerely,
Li Ming

这封辞职信结构清晰。第一段说明这封信是告知雇主自己想辞去工作。第二段详细说明辞职的原因。第三段对于辞职引起的不便表示歉意。
第一段中submit表示“提交”。flexible 意为“灵活的”,此处flexible working hours指“弹性工作时间”。注意第二段用了first of all,whats more,most importantly作为衔接手段,让短文结构清晰、一目了然。resign是动词,resignation是名词,都是“辞职”的意思。

Dear Mr.Johnson,
I am sure it will come as no surprise that I wish to resign my position as a sales representative.I have enjoyed working with you and the staff in the Morning Star company in these two years.You have given me plenty of help and encouragement.
However, our work with local community groups has inspired me to return for my Master’s degree in social work.I appreciate how valuable such a degree can be in my field of endeavor.I’d like to pursue my Master’s degree in autumn, and would appreciate it if you would accept my resignation before September 3.
I will be able to stay on through the summer and help you find a replacement for my position.Thank you for all the patience, wisdom, and experience that you shared with me.I will always remember my time with the Morning Star with great affection, and hope to work with you and the staff again in the future.I am sorry for any inconvenience caused.
Yours sincerely,
Li Ming

这封辞职信和上一封的思路基本一致。第一段通知对方,说明自己要辞职。第二段解释辞职的原因并提出辞职的日期。第三段向对方致以礼节性的谢意。
第一段中sales representative意为“销售代表”,第二段中inspire意为“鼓励,激励”,endeavor意为“努力”,尤其指为完成某一严肃的目标而做出的努力。
