my resignation letter

to my leader,

i present to you my formal letter of resignation from our group. this

is because of my belief that my lacking performance is a liability to the

group's quality of work, and undermines the ideals for which we stand.

i wouldn't want the group's integrity to suffer because of my

inability. I'd rather break my own pride than compromise everyone else's.

i always admired people like you from afar. you always achieved the

greatness i aspired for. i thought that for one shining moment, i could be like

you. i was proven wrong.

am i really worthy to take part in your great endeavors? i may never

know. I'd rather relieve myself of my sworn commitment than wait until you come

to despise me.

maybe, i could have learned to embody your greatness, but not in the

time and manner that you'd find useful.

farewell. at least, for a brief time, i called you my dear comrades. i

thank you for the chance, and for showing me the mistake that is my

presumptuousness.

perhaps, one day, in another time and place, we will meet again and be

friends...but only just...
