Same as everyone else really. Check your contract to see who resignations should be addressed to as amazingly it's not always your boss, work out when your last date of employment would be and then keep the letter to the minimum even if you really want to say more. Also if it's not your boss who you need to write the letter to it's worth dragging them to one side and informing them what you're about to do (always try to be the bigger person). Then it's just a case of picking your wording, addressing to your boss or "To whom it may concern" if it's a generic HR department.

This is to inform you of my intention to terminate my employment with Wacky Rabbits Corp as per the terms
of my contract with my final date of employment being the 14th February. I wish you and everyone else all the
best for the future.

Or something similar. Just don't let it get personal though, you may need to come back for a job in the future, or you may find yourself encountering your current boss at a potential new employer.

Generally I would add the following content:
1) That you terminate the contract as of Date xyz. Mention the last work day (having sorted out the remaining vacations etc.)
2) Reason (career opportunity you cannot resist, sick dog, joining ISIS and so on). Don't write it's because of the money unless it was discussed and declined (event then I wouldn't write it).
3) Thank for the opportunity to work for the company (if you don't want to destroy bridges)
Depending in which country you are living, there are different laws regarding the form and maybe even the content of the notice. Where I live it would be enough to send an email (notice has to be in written form). Usually people send it by signed post, well before the notice period starts. It's just important that you have a proof the employer is in the possession of your notice before the notice period starts, otherwise you get into trouble with your next work assignment. The last time I walked into the HR department and let them counter sign my notice letter (double). One for them, one for me.
Depending on the relationship you have with your boss, tell him in advance that you plan to leave before you send the notice.
Maybe you have to/want to transfer valuable knowledge to your coworkers. Make a proposal (not in the resignation letter) how to make this transition as painless as possible for your employer and your coworkers. Show that you are willing to support this process (unless you don't care or there is no reason for it).
As I said, this all depends on legal requirements, maybe the industry, the circumstances and your personal choice.
Good luck!

I knew a guy that was an amateur cartoonist. When he resigned he drew up a full page single frame cartoon that showed him pissing on his boss' desk. I think that sent a quite descriptive message about how he felt....
Sorry if this offends anybody. I just thought it was so funny that I should share it here!

Be Professional, Kind, and Thankful.
Leave on good terms.
Managers understand that people come and go; that's just life in business.
You may find out the new job isn't so awesome until the honeymoon is over [6 months in]. Everyone is on their best behavior during an interview [including the interviewer], but people's real personalities come out 6 months to a year later.
Maybe you'll find out your old job wasn't so bad after all? In that case, wouldn't it be great that you could contact your old manager about returning to your prior employer! Or, at the very least your old manager could give you some job lead contacts.

To me it depends on how the gig went. I've given notice of over a month to deserving employers where there was mutual respect along with a letter as Mr. Pfeffer suggested above.
The worst was a two-hour notice [no letter, duh] because there was no respect. The only reason it took two hours was so I could say good-bye to those worthy fellow employees. I did spend some time with the company president to let him know the why/how of what I was doing in the hope that the "survivors" would be treated better. The last thing I did there, just before walking out the door, was tell the horrible manager how horrible he was. Again, for the survivors. I knew I'd never be invited back but sometimes ya just gotta tell folks what's up.

Does it always stop at the same points? And have you tried transcoding it?
Bad command or file name. Bad, bad command! Sit! Stay! Staaaay...

Yes, it always stop at the same points...
I've just tried transcoding it using handbrake and when the transcoding process reach the "stop point" the transcodification gets interrupted.

FreeMake works for me most of the time, or there is VirtualDubMod which gives you a load more control with defective videos.
Can you ask for a "clean" copy of the original?

Even Meteorite works fine I'll keep those ones in my favorites folder just in case.
Thank you!

Just solved it downloading METEORITE, it's a very easy drag and drop program that repair MKV files.
|

I used to like MKV, but Chromecast doesn't like them, and...tends to freeze up while playing them...
So I use FreeMake to transcode them to MP4, which works with everything so far!

Last year I gave my parents a couple of chromecasts as a Christmas present, and a month ago I discovered the videostream chrome extension.
It looks like a perfect companion for the Chromecast, it acts as Serviio as you can define folders in your computer where you have videos, it has a remote control available for android and it seems to transcode some formats like mkv... I was impressed with it.

That works nicely!
I'm impressed - once I got it working, which wasn't trivial because Kaspersky didn't like its Secure comms to Chromecast - it transcodes MKV, AVI, WMV, ... nice!
Thank you for that: is it worth your adding it to the Free Tools forum?

Does the timer go on or does it stop counting? If it is a mpeg file it may be a broken index.

It goes correctly till 2:54, then it jumps to 2:58, stops counting for a while (the 4 seconds that are missing are not shown and the time in the progress bar gets stopped at 2:58 during 4 seconds) and after that it continues...

Then it is corrupted, IIRC VLC has a Repair function. I'd give it a try!

Solved! downloaded Meteorite and repaired the file.

I've found a tool that makes it super easily: Meteorite... you need simply to drag and drop your files there and it works.

Meteorite is a good... Oh, I see you've found it, excellent!

Okay, first time, I hope this renders correctly:

Edit: Moved letter indicator
Hints:
1. The guy on the left does all the work but doesn't go anywhere...
2. ...unlike the vessel on the right.
3. Port activity.
