Dear Ms Jones (or first name if you have an informal relationship)
I have enjoyed working at The Corporation and have learned a great deal. I appreciate both the opportunities and guidance I have been given during my employment with the company.
However I have decided that the time has come for me to move on and this letter serves as my formal resignation from the position of Secretary with The Corporation. In fulfillment of my employment contract I am giving you two weeks notice from today's date November 24, 2008. My last working day will be Friday December 5, 2008.
I wish you and The Corporation continued success in the future.
