You could do it in writing if you’d like to be more formal about it. Just state you are leaving for whatever reason, when your last day is, and that you enjoyed working and you appologize for any inconvinience you may cause. That’s what I’d do atleast. ---

This is what im giving for my notice. Letter of Resignation Aaron Gray February 1, 2007 Washington Auto Mall 303 Washington Road Washington PA, 15301 Dear Mr. Gary Flannery, Mr. Bob Weisen, and Mr. Bob Pahler Please accept this letter as formal notification that I am leaving my position with the Washington Auto Mall company on February 14. I feel how weak and fruitless must be any words of mine which should attempt to beguile you from the grief of a loss so overwhelming. I am leaving to pursue another opportunity in the state of Florida. I feel that it has come time for me to embark on another path of my career. I greatly appreciate the opportunity that I have been given. Thank you for the opportunities you have provided me during my time with the company. If I can be of any assistance during this transition, please let me know. Yours very sincerely and respectfully, Aaron Gray ---

What Can I Do?” Pennsylvania is an 'AT WILL ’ state. An employer does not need to give a reason to fire an employee under Pennsylvania wage and hour laws. However, you may wish to check with an attorney to see whether or not you can file a civil lawsuit against your employer for wrongful discharge. Also, if you feel you were discriminated against because of race, creed, color, age, religion, sex, or similar reason, you may wish to contact the Pennsylvania Human Relations Commission at 1-717-787-4410.
