resignation please accept my resignation as associate chemist at xxx research, inc.; my last day will be august 15, 19–. while enjoying assigned projects and contributing to the company’s overall growth, i feel my work tasks here have not allowed me to investigate projects in which i developed a keen interest during my graduate studies. therefore, i have accepted a position more in line with those interests at meadows chemical company. this decision has been difficult due to the rewarding relationships developed during the past three years.
