Dear Sir Please be advised that i am so depressed that i have no alternative but to end my employment with you. It all started when i first came to this company and pulled out of the yard and dropped the trailer on its knees. You were quite right to complain to head office about me, especially as the following week i hit a low bridge. Although British Rail reduced the damage claim to £75.000, there was no need to ask me to pay for the trailer that was written off. Luckily the insurance company paid up, and the traffic office were quite pleased with the fact that there were no more mishaps. That was until that delivery at Tesco, where i pulled away from the bank, all the roll cages fell onto the floor, and they tried to say it was my fault there was a forklift exiting the trailer. I did visit the driver in hospital though, so no hard feelings there, except Tesco barred me from their site, their loss, not mine. Things started to depress me a while later when one of our Polish drivers demolished the fuel pumps, and he was given extra training, whilst when i did it, and crashed into the directors Bentley. I got a warning letter, this was so unfair, especially when the diesel spillage was only 6000 litres. It seems the traffic office wont let me forget the time i was putting the tractor unit in the workshop, and the front wheel went down the pit, how was i to know there was a great hole in the floor, anyway under health and safety law, i should have been shown how to do it, and it was going in the workshops for a steering problem anyway, thats why it was given a GV9. There wasnt much damage apart from a new windscreen…well…i thought they came with the new cab…and i had to drive that old rusty ERF for 5 weeks, talk about punishment. I am very sorry to be leaving the company as i quite like it here now i`ve settled in, but the depression wont go away …well it would help if i never had to pay for repairs to my burned out house, how was i to know the insurance company refused to insure me. My wife tells me i am good at DIY, and the stupid cow parked the car in the garage…she would have wouldnt she…and that went up in flames too…mind you the petrol leak it had, i was gonna fix that last week…too late now…well thats fate i guess.
I would ask you if it is possible for me to have a reference, and i can collect it on Friday the 13th, the day i am leaving, this will be a sad day for me.

LMFAO 
Cheered my monday up thanks
simon
Agreed, pretty good Bob 
Cheered up my monday too bob,well done.
regards derek
I will print Bobs letter off and post them that
The letter has been written and sent to France, I am waiting for the phone call from the UK office 
I shall drop them a copy in on my return to work after my holidays
i printed my resignation last night. no messing around, i am leaving due to lack of job prospects blah blah blah short, sweet and straight to the point. i even managed to avoid pointing out the lack of management etc
now its just waiting to see what happens. i may or may not need it but its ready to be handed in anyway
Malc.if you have reproduced my letter and sent it off to foreign lands .then i may have to sue you for any extra renumeration you receive…
I,m glad it cheered some of you up…
In all honesty the best way to hand your notice in is to be honest…tell the company exactly why your leaving…it could make a difference to the next driver starting…it may make management change the way they work…it may get that idiot manager what he deserves…but if you dont get to see the M/D and only hand your notice to the traffic office…then also write a letter to the no 1…at least the T/O cannot lie about the reasons you are leaving…covering their own backsides…as is often the case…remember …dont be frightened of them…

That is part of the problem Bob, The French manager of our department got the sack 
There was only one man above him, and it was him who sacked the manager My planner has gone to live in Spain and leaves the company next week, My reserve planner is leaving too and the new bloke is temporary, {self appointed} as there has been no official confirmation of him getting the top job. I have had a few run ins with this bloke, he is a good planner if things are going his way, if someone upsets him, or is late for a delivery, everyone gets it!
My mind is made up now anyway, the letter is winging its way to France as we type

Ma mammy always said it was your sense of humour that got her “in the club” thanks for a good laugh dad!
I thought Bobs letter was based on Frank Spencers CV
