Please accept this letter as a formal notice of my resignation from my position as president of the Secondary Schools Football League.
It was a pleasure working with you and members of the executive over the last three years. I thank all the stakeholders; principals, coaches, administrators and sponsors for their unwavering support over the years.
I wish the League all success in the 2020 season and beyond. If needed I would be available to help in any way, so feel free to contact me at any time.
Yours sincerely,
William Wallace

Please keep your letter between 300 to 600 words and be sure to read it over first for typos and punctuation.
We don’t publish anonymously unless there is a good reason, such as an obvious threat of harassment or job loss.
I suppose the media do not count as a “stakeholder” so the heartfelt “thank you” for them will come in a separate communication. It better come soon because, as the Editor is careful to point out here, Mr Wallace wears more than one football hat.
