Where is a Letter of intent to retire sample?

To: {the person in-charge of human resources)

CC: {Your direct boss, your department head}

Dear {the person in-charge of human resources),

I have enjoyed my time in this company very much. However, I have been tinkering with the idea of moving on to newer feeding grounds and have sufficient time for my grandchildren and for fishing.

Recent events in my life have not only given me this opportunity but also reinforced the need and desire.

I would like to speak to you all on how I could gracefully retire and relinquish my responsibilities and passing them smoothly to my capable colleagues.

I would also be extremely glad to talk about my future plans and my pretty grandkids some time soon at the Smokey Bear {or some pub or restaurant popular among your colleagues}.

With utmost sincerity and gratitude for the good years I had with you all,

{sign your name}
