Man gives notice on cake

A US man has come up with an ingenious way to resign - by writing a resignation letter on a cake.

Neil Berrett announced he was leaving the Hunters Point Naval Shipyard in San Francisco in icing. He posted a picture of the huge baked message on Flickr , the photo sharing website, reports the Daily Telegraph.

Mr Berrett wrote: “Dear Mr. Bowers - During the past three years, my tenure at the Hunters Point Naval Shipyard has been nothing short of pure excitement, joy and whim.

“However, I have decided to spend more time with my family and attend to health issues that have recently arisen. I am proud to have been part of such an outstanding team and I wish this organisation only the finest in future endeavors.

“Please accept this cake as notification that I am leaving my position with NWT on March 27. Sincerely, W. Neil Berrett.”

The picture of the cake-letter prompted dozens of messages of support from Mr Berrett’s followers on Flickr. They included one who announced that he intended to apply for Mr Berrett’s old job by baking a version of his CV.
