Short and direct resignation letter

Comments from Carl: Sometimes, people prefer the short and sweet version of the resignation letter and don't really want to go into a lot of detail as to why they're leaving their position or what they're doing next.

You don't have to feel compelled to tell people what you're doing next (ie. what company you're moving to) if you don't want to. You could always wait until you start your new job and then tell people if you prefer.
