Dear Jake, I have had a wonderful experience working at Lucky Coin Machine Company these past three years. As a result, it is a bittersweet occasion that I write to you this morning, announcing my resignation from the company and my position as Regional Manager. I leave in order to pursue creative writing as a full-time profession in New York City, a dream of mine for many years. My last official day in the office will be Friday April 13, 2016; two weeks from today. I appreciate and value the lessons I learned under your tutelage. Thank you for the opportunities, the mentorship, and the support during these three years—it was truly a joy. Please let me know how I can be of assistance during this transition process. I plan to announce my departure at next week’s staff meeting. My Best, Lynn Sherrill
