英文阅读：写辞职信也要小心

　　辞职和找工作总是同时存在。如果你不想再做下去了，辞职也无妨。下面就教您如何轻松撰写辞职信。
        　　Writing a letter of resignation might be an unpleasant task, but there’s
really not that much to it. In its simplest form, you just date your letter of
resignation, say when and what you’re resigning, sign it, hand it over, and
that’s it. Five minutes, and you’re done.
        　　Unless you possess the judgment of an attorney and style of a professional
writer, don’t write much more in your letter of resignation if you wish to use
your soon-to-be ex-employer as a reference. There’s really no need to explain
your reasons for resigning anyway. For one thing, it’s really nobody’s business
but your own. For another, however honorable your reasons may be, it’s very hard
to strike just the right tone in writing.
        　　For example, if you write in your letter of resignation that you’ve found a
more challenging career opportunity, it implies that you’re bored with your
current job. If you write that you’re having family or health problems, you’ve
just documented that you might be a risky hire. Your words may haunt you down
the road, when a potential employer contacts your former employers as
references. Your words might also be used as evidence against you, should you
sue your former employer for a wrongdoing. For example, if you write that it’s
been a pleasurable experience working there, then later sue your employer, you
might have a hard time proving harm.
        　　In other words, try not to leave anything up to the interpretation (or
misinterpretation) of the reader when writing your letter of resignation.
