Sample resignation letter to carry on further studies

Please accept my resignation from the post of Assistant General Manager at Melbourne Chartered Bank with effect from May 12, 2014. I am leaving the bank to pursue higher studies at London Management School.

As a graduate in economics from Fielding University, US, I was always in search of further qualifications in related fields. I will be joining the Class of 2015 at London Business School for a 2 year Master’s in Business Administration course. I am certain that I will be able to resume my professional career following the acquisition of a Master’s degree in management. I regret that I am leaving the bank at such short notice, but the admission letter arrived only last week.

London Management School also requires its students to take preparatory courses in mathematics and financial accounting so I will be leaving Australia this month itself in readiness for this. I am certain that there will be no problem regarding the current accounting and audit reports. Mr. Benjamin Smith from the Accounts department will be able to handle the current backlog of files. For any further assistance regarding the preparation of the reports, I will be available by phone or email.

I would like to express my gratitude to the team at the bank for their support and professionalism. I would also like to thank the management for their understanding attitude. Please let me know regarding the closing formalities and the date of the exit interview.
