Write your letter with no less than 100 words .Write it neatly on ANSWER SHEET 2. Do not sign your own name at the end of the letter; use “Li Ming”instead. You do not need to write the address.
Dear Wang,
I hereby confirm in writing my resignation from the magazine China Economic Weekly, effective Jun. 1st, 2007.
Thank you very much for having given me this opportunity to take such a promising position in such a best-selling magazine. However, after the two months work, I have found that my character does not meet the requirement of this position, which asks for the more open-minded, more energetic and more creative. What’s more ,the shortage of professional knowledge, both in designing and editing, has badly influenced my performance in daily work and my personal development in the future, which might in impose some negative effects on the magazine sooner or later, Therefore, I decided to quit this position after careful consideration.
I wish you will consider my request, and I apologize for any inconveniences I might have caused.
Yours sincerely
Li Ming
