Dear [Board Chair / Executive Director Name],

I am writing to submit my resignation as Trustee of [Organization / Trust Name],
effective [Date].

A recent change in my [professional role / business interests / personal circumstances]
has created a situation that may conflict with my fiduciary responsibilities to this
organization. Rather than create an ongoing governance concern for the board, I believe
the most ethical course of action is to step down from my position.

This decision reflects my respect for the organization's integrity and my commitment to
maintaining the highest standards of governance. I do not take this step lightly.

I will work with the Board Chair and the organization's legal counsel to ensure a proper
transition. I am available to discuss any open matters and to hand over relevant materials
before my departure.

Thank you for the opportunity to serve. It has been an honor to support this organization's
mission.

Sincerely,

[Your Full Name]
[Title / Role on Board]
