You send in your two weeks notice and simply explain to them truthfully of why you are wanting to leave. They might try to cut you a deal of making it better suited for you to stay, or they will accept and understand your polite recognition and arrange the last two weeks for you.

This should be through handing in your notice, usually this will have a reason in the middle of it. It can be difficult to have this conversation depending on the relationship you have with the boss. An example of a notice of leave would be Dear ____ (name) I regret to inform you that I am handing in my resignation. I hereby give my intention to leave your company. I made this decision because... (give reason) If there is any further information you'd like to know or anything I can do to help please let me know. Thank you, Yours sincerely (name and signature) If you are on a contract there is a month notice needing to be given, if you are not it is usually 7 days.

Get straight to the point. "Dear [Boss], thank you for the opportunity and experiences [company] has given me during my tenure. Please accept my two week notice of resignation." Remember that you don't owe them anything.

I am leaving. Good bye and call me if you need me for anything. You have been wonderful but I need to see the world.

Tell them (even if you don't mean it entirely) that you appreciate the opportunity and experience it gave you. Give a 2 week notice if possible. If you really love the job you're in but things are not quite nice there (atmosphere), maybe ask and give feedback of how it could get better.

Ask for a one to one with your manager at work, Nicely put it why you are wanting to leave, Hand in your notice with a set amount if leaving time for the manager to find a replacement.

The best thing to do is to put in a 2-week notice that you are quitting your job, that's the most professional way of doing so.

Be very polite when you tell him that you want to talk to him, then bring up your excuse about leaving.

Some companies have different policies. Usually you have to hand in a notice letter to explain that you are leaving and then you work a notice period (usually about four weeks,) you can also have a conversation with your boss. Just be honest, speaking to them about it is the best thing you can do, it's much more polite.
