Re. Following-Up Resignation Letter w.r.t. Letter No. [NUMBER]
Dear [NAME], as mentioned in my resignation letter that I submitted on [DATE], I am writing to follow up on the approval of my resignation. As stated in my resignation letter, I am not leaving the job due to any professional or personal reasons. I am leaving because I want to pursue a career in the corporate sector and move away from teaching.
Teaching is a noble profession, and I thoroughly enjoyed working in your school. Teaching is one of the most valuable professions, as it not only adds to your knowledge but also fosters a reciprocal learning process. I clarify the misconception that I undermined the teaching profession. I have huge respect for this profession in my heart. Occupational studies are one of the most fascinating jobs one can pursue, but I have always dreamed of having a job in digital marketing within the corporate sector.
The only reason for resigning from the school was to pursue a career in the corporate sector. I am writing this letter to thank you, the entire staff, coordinators, subject heads, the Dean of Science and Arts, the administration department, and the finance management team for your consistent coordination and cooperation. I learned a lot while working here.
I look forward to enjoying a cup of coffee with my department members. I hope you can arrange a small meeting of our team members who were working on communication skills and management matters. This will be a kind of farewell tea meeting. We will have a fun time in the end. Note the date, [DATE]. Thanks a lot!
Warmly,
[NAME]

Re. The follow-up to the resignation
Dear Sir,
I am Luke Nelson from Diego. Sir, I have resigned from my job due to certain reasons. As I mentioned in my resignation letter, the primary reason for leaving my job is to pursue a career change and continue my studies in management sciences, with a specific focus on financial and budget management.
[DATE], [DAY] is going to be my final day in the office. I was told that I can stay off work and do not need to come to the office on [DATE], but I would like to bid farewell to everyone and receive their best wishes. Sir, I want to thank you for your constant support and appreciation.
I spent my best days in this organization and thoroughly enjoyed it. This job provided me with the best work-life balance and allowed me to engage in a lot of self-care, which in turn enhanced my skill set. Moreover, I met some of the best people here who were highly professional in their work, experts in their fields, and cordial colleagues. I am sure I will miss them a lot.
Please direct the relevant authorities to pay my last cheque. The Assistant Finance Manager has withheld my salary for [MONTH] due to my resignation.
I would be grateful if you could approve my application enclosed for the immediate release of my salary.
