FROM PROFESSOR THOMAS P.M. BARNETT (SENIOR STRATEGIC RESEARCHER) TO DR. LAWRENCE MODISETT (CHAIR, WARFARE ANALYSIS AND RESEARCH DEPARTMENT)
3 JANUARY 2005
Dear Lawrence,
Please accept this letter as my formal resignation from my post here at the Naval War College. Upon consultation with both you and the Provost, I feel this step is in the best interests of both my family and the college.
I request a formal end date of 4 February 2005. I filled out the necessary documentation at Human Resources this morning to start the process. The Provost should receive that form in the next day or two.
I thank you for all your guidance and support over the years, and wish both you and the college the best in years to come. I have enjoyed my six-and-a-half years at this institution, and would welcome future opportunities to collaborate with you and your staff on your department's research agenda.
(signature)
Thomas P.M. Barnett
