TBH its always an idea to do something stupid before you go but few actually bother in the end, it just isn't worth the effort.

Technically, a company can give a bad reference, but they open themselves up to litigation if they do, safe to say that unless they have VERY good evidence of bad workmanship they will normally stick with neutral ones.

Normally only serious misconduct, or criminal behaviour, will get you a "bad" reference. There are lots of things that can get you sacked instantly, but very few of them are enough for a company to bother to put on a reference.

With a bad one I mean the reference just states that the person has worked there from so long etc, not saying he did any good. I remember that an x-college of mine got that one, but he had stolen ;)

Our work only gives that type of reference. its easy for them and avoids litigation problems.

References are normally for just proving you were doing what you said you were at the company for the period of time stated.

One rather mischievious ex-cow-orker I knew used to look up bankrupt companies and use them as references, as they can never respond he could say he was doing anything he liked, claiming experience of subjects he knew nothing about.

I wish you and [company] every good fortune and I would like to thank you for having me as part of your team, you have given me the chance to make a change before I make one of the biggest mistakes that would have affected the rest of my life.

Take that out completely, talk about digging yourself a hole.

In fact, you should just write:

"Dear boss

I hereby give written notice of my resignation.

Yours faithfully
yourname"

Go and have a chat with him. Once you've talked through why you're leaving (again, keep it short, to the point, don't start ass licking or saying stupid things because you feel like you need to say something), *then* you hand him the letter.

See?
