Letter of resignation
Dear (Name of boss),
I have been working faithfully under you for over 3 years now. In all this time, I have never stolen even a paper clip from the office, though I have been tempted to call my mother land several times. (which I never did, sir)
According to the horoscope, it has been advised by my guru that I must leave my current job as the stars will be passing saturn and this will cause a very bad thing to happen to me should I not leave. It is with this believe that I am hereby tending my resignation to you.
The only way to avoid this great misfortune are (according to guruji),
1) 25 % increase in salary
2) Nothing more than 30 hour work per week (this is very important as the saturn will come closer to earth and haunt me should I work a minute more than 30 hours)
3) My own office (with window will reduce my karma)
4) Yearly free tickets to my mother land so that I can pray along with guruji
5) Daily free lunch (guruji said that i must never go hungry)
So it is with great difficulty that I hereby tender my resignation unless the conditions above are met.
