Dear Mr. Bowers,
During the past three years, my tenure at the Hunters Point Naval Shipyard has been nothing short of pure excitement, joy and whim.
However, I have decided to spend more time with my family and attend to health issues that have recently arisen. I am proud to have been part of such an outstanding team and I wish this organization only the finest in future endeavors.
Please accept this cake as notification that I am leaving my position with NWT on March 27.
Sincerely,
W. Neil Berrett

Just a note to say “take these jobs and shove them”. We’re off to hit a few balls, read tons of books, and act in many plays.
We hope you all enjoy doing our work as we enjoy travelling, going to Redskins games, and visiting the grandkids.
Sayonara… we’re off to Japan!

Dear Michelle,
Please accept this cake as formal (and delicious) notice of my resignation from the position of Newscast Director at KOLD News 13. My last day of employment will be Friday, May 22.
I will miss KOLD and all the incredible people I’ve been fortunate enough to work with over the last 4 years. I cannot thank you enough for all the opportunities and experience you have given me during my time here.
I appreciate your understanding and I wish you all the very best. If there’s anything I can do to help with the transition during my last few weeks here, please don’t hesitate to ask.
Sincerely,
Mark Herman
I know a lot of people like working with me and they’d be sad to see me go, Mark told BuzzFeed News. I figured cake would soften the blow.
