背景：Harrod 当过十八个月的推销员。他虽然很喜欢同各地销售商打交道，单却不愿经常出差。他把这个问题向销售经理放映过几次，可公司并没有其他适合他的职位，所以他只好辞职。

Dear Benson:

　　I am sure it will come as no surprise to you that I wish to resign my position as a sales representative , effective at your convenience ,but not later than June 12.

　　You are fully aware of my problem, Benson. Although I like the company and the people I work with, being on the road for weeks at a time does not appeal to me. I think the situation would be entirely different if I were single or even married with no children. But with two youngsters , traveling represents a real hardship on me and especially on my wife. After each trip it gets increasingly harder for me to treat myself away from my family to go back on the road.

　　I really have no plans at the moment. I need to take some time to think about what I want to do. I may try to get back into coaching and I’m also considering buying into a local sporting goods store. Whatever I wind up doing, it will have to be something that will permit me to stay anchored in one place.

　　Thank you for everything you have done for me. I really don’t know how I could received better treatment from a company or a manager.

　　Sincerely,

　　Harrod

　　P.S. In case I need a reference, may I use your name? I would very much appreciate it.

亲爱的本森：

　　我相信我辞去推销员的职位，你并不会感到奇怪。我将在你认为可行的时候辞职，但不迟于6月12日。

　　本森，你很清楚我的问题。虽然我喜欢公司，也喜欢于同事们相处，但每次出差在外，一去就是好几个星期，确实让人厌烦。我想如果我尚为结婚或虽结婚而没有孩子的话，情况就完全不同。但现在我有两个孩子 。因此，出差对我，特别是对我的妻子而言的确是件难事。每次出差回来后，我感到要告别我得家人踏上出差的路越来越困惑。

　　我暂时尚无面向未来的计划。我需要认真考虑一下将来到底作什么。我可能干当教练这一老行当，也可能想买进一家体育用品商店。无论我最终干什么，它必须让我在一个地方稳定地生活，而不必四处奔波。

　　谢谢您所为我做的一切。

　　您忠实的

　　Harrod
