I have to prepare one and want to turn it in this Friday. I'm a head softball coach, and my time is up, time to move on. What are some suggestions on what to put in the letter. I've never had to write one before.

DON'T include any taunts concerning how many chicks on the team you boned. Just because you're no longer affiliated with the program doesn't mean you're in the clear as far as particular legal issues go.

With us giving him conflicting advise, how is poor Ernest ever going to figure out how to write this letter?

Also let them know that they need to fix the hole in the wall between your old coach's office and the girls locker room showers.

I am honestly surprised that it took 3 posts to finally get one of these. Well done, heretic, but shame on the rest of you! :)

Just kidding. I like the above suggestions (minus the sarcastic ones :))

And that the reason the girl who batted .085 was still in the starting line-up every day was because she was willing to use it as a glory hole. A real team player, that one.

I'm just happy that for me, the placed advertisement at the top is for STDalert.com. When you can take a thread about resigning from coaching a softball team and derail it to the point one of the ads for the page is for testing for STDs, you've done something worth talking about!

Explain to them that the job just doesn't pay enough and you do appreciate the opportunity they gave you., if it was not for them trusting you to coach these fine young girls, you would not be able to launch your new website, "Ernest hits a home run", a collection of hidden camera shower scenes and the vast collection of videos where you are working 1 on 1 with the girls teaching then the proper way to grip a bat and how to delicately juggle softballs with one hand.

How does this sound?

Dear ...

I am writing to formally notify you that I am resigning from my position as Head Softball Coach at Ohio Chatter High School when my duties for the 2011 season are complete. At this time I feel that I am not able to give my full attention to my coaching duties so I feel it is the right decision for both my family and me.

I appreciate the opportunities I have been given the past three years and your professional guidance and support. I wish you and the softball team success in the future.

Sincerely

ETB

And you probably should sign it with your real name and not your message board handle. They'd probably think that would be kinda weird. Weirdo.
