Further things to consider when writing resignation letters to parents
Resignation Letters
Resignation letters are letters written to employers to announce the intent to leave a currently held position. While the main objective of a resignation letter is to inform your employer that you are leaving, you can use it to maintain a positive relationship with the recipient by leaving with a positive final impression. Though you may feel as if this is a great opportunity to say how much you hated the company, it's always in your best interest to be polite so that your professional future remains secure. A resignation letter should be sent well in advance or as required by the contract to give the recipient enough time to fill your position.
Resignation letters are formal letters, and therefore, the writing tone must be professional. State your intention to resign clearly. If appropriate, give your reasons for the same. Thank the recipient for the experience and state how this position has positively influenced your profession. While at it, resist the temptation to make negative comments unless you want the recipient to remember you as an ungrateful employee. Wrap it up with a kind note and mention that you are willing to offer any assistance needed during the transition.
Letters to Parents
Letters to parents are the letters you write to your mother, father, or guardian. A one-on-one conversation with a parent is not always the best way to communicate because sometimes it all happens so fast, it can get emotional, or sometimes you both may not have enough time for a conversation. Writing a letter could be helpful because it gives you enough time to organize your thoughts. You can also rewrite the entire letter if you want, but in a conversation, once a word is out, you just can't take it back. In addition, writing a letter will give the recipient time to read, digest, and respond thoughtfully.
Before writing letters to parents, roughly make a list of the things you want to say. Divide the list into paragraphs and organize the paragraphs to maintain a smooth flow. Frame your sentences properly so that they bring out your thoughts clearly. Use an approachable tone and mention exactly what you need from your parents. Close the letter on a positive tone and propose different ways of continuing the conversation. Reread the letter and look for areas where you could be more respectful or more confident and revise it accordingly.
