Dear Cameron:
Further to our discussion after last week's meeting, this is to formally advise you that I will be stepping down from my position as Administrative Secretary of the CAC effective December 31, 20xx.
As I explained when we spoke, I have decided to pursue my Masters Degree and have been accepted at Northwestern University in Illinois, which means I will be living in the Chicago area most of the time for the next two years. Naturally, should I return to Stanstead when I have completed my program I would be pleased to serve with the Committee again if need be.
When the Committee meets again in early January, I would ask you to please convey my regrets and farewells to the other members and advise them that serving as a member of the CAC for the past three years has been one of the most enjoyable and meaningful community service positions that I have held in my years of community service.
In closing, I sincerely wish you and the other members the very best of luck with the future work of the Committee. I have no doubt that, under your able leadership, the CAC will be successful in achieving all of the fund-raising targets for Campaign 20xx.
Yours sincerely,
David Sanchez
