Here in my case, I need to work 6 weeks in the company after I handover the resignation letter to my HR manager. Tomorrow I have planned to give it to my HR manager. So, 20th November is the last day

therefore, I should write it to suit my situation as below,

I would like to inform you that I am resigning from my position as Software Developer for the Reservations Gateway, effective October 12

inɒzɘmɒЯ.A.M

It's good.

@inɒzɘmɒЯ.A.M I'm afraid that whether you understand what I mentioned before. Does this mean from tomorrow onwards, that they will count down 6 weeks to my last working date ? ( which will be 20th November )

I'm sorry. I wanted to ensure what i'm writing here. Cos, this is something important

inɒzɘmɒЯ.A.M

When you say effective Oct 12, I believe you mean I won't work for you starting Oct 12.

@Copper right?

@inɒzɘmɒЯ.A.M nope. That's not what I wanted to say

inɒzɘmɒЯ.A.M

What did you want to say?

Jude Niroshan

We have agreed when we got confirmed in the company, we just can't leave as we want

We need to stay in the company for 6 weeks after handing over the resignation letter to the HR manager

So, tomorrow i'm going to handover the letter to HR manager. But I still have to report to office for next 6 weeks which will count down from tomorrow onwards

got it?

inɒzɘmɒЯ.A.M

@JudeNiroshan Oh!

Then, lemme think of what you should say.

@Jude have you read this? google.nl/…

Jude Niroshan

i will

inɒzɘmɒЯ.A.M

This suggests that the effective date is the date you won't work there anymore.

@inɒzɘmɒЯ.A.M . I would be happy to meet with you at your convenience to discuss the transition of my duties to my successor.

does this sentence mean, "I like to have a change of my current designation if you would like to offer me" ?

confuse me is transition of my duties to my successor

Q: Is it possible to use the past simple?

Is it possible to use the past simple in the following sentence? (I'd like to ask) if the payment take place the day you received the book. Is this possible?: (I'd like to ask) if ... you receive the book. I think both are good but I am not totally sure.
