To [bosses name]

I submit my letter of resignation to take effect from [date]. I am grateful for the opportunities you have given me and have enjoyed working at [company name] but feel that I have gained as much experience as I can for this role.

Now for the real reason: you're a bleedin' tightwad, you ugly, fat old git!

Yours sincerely
