Typical GD response dictates that the thread requires pictures of aforementioned girl before GD can pass judgement.
In all seriousness though, congrats on the job offer

Kevin Spacey's character in American Beauty gets it spot on.

I just sent an email and gave my months notice last time i resigned. Then I called up my boss to confirm a bit later and discussed it a bit.
Even if you work for people who would have no trouble being diagnosed as medically braindead, and every day is about as pleasurable as showering in a flow of lukewarm diarrhoea, just say that you are giving notice of your resignation, and thank them for the opportunity.

As written in the dirt on the rear doors of his trailer, the keys were left in a local Police station, near Glasgow, the truck was in Reading.
One way of resigning, as per an old workmate of mine a fair few years back now but it's stuck in my memory!!!
Usually though, as said, a nicely worded letter at least although I'd combine this with a face to face meeting.
Keep things sweet, references can be handy!!

Yep this, always leave on good terms...if its possible.
There's nothing to be scared of, just be polite and don't burn any bridges.
Burn the store down 5mins prior to the meeting.
When the manager pulls up greet him naked with I QUIT smeared on your naked body in a paste of ash and the blood of your murdered co-workers.
Guaranteed to get the message across.

I once worked for a guy who had some superiority complex, like he thought he was the badgers nadgers just because he was a grade above me "I'm the boss therefore I am better than you" - despite the fact he was a clueless moron who didn't know what he was talking about half the time.
I got a new job lined up, the day I got confirmation, I went into his office an told him to stuff his job up his arse and **** off while he's doing it. It felt nice.

Di what I did and turn up 90mins late hungover to buggery and slap then hand your letter to the manager and offer to make a cuppa.

My mate said that if he wins the lottery and resigns, he will take a poop on the chief constable's desk and leave his warrant card in as a wafer.
I pointed out that he should triple check that the money is in the bank beforehand.

It's kinda weird but you get used to it. I've done it twice now, and both times I was asked if I'd reconsider. If you're good at your job, and get on with people then companies won't want you to leave, but they understand it.
I had a long chat with my previous boss about how the commute was killing me, and he offered to speak to people nearer home for me to try and get me a job without interview. He was gutted to lose me but understood that for me I just couldn't do it any more.

I've always arranged a 1:1 to do it, always amicable as you never want to burn bridges, you never know when you might come across those people again. Industries are small really.
