The much romanticised hand-written letters never go out of style. This time, its a hand-written resignation letter that has caught the attention of netizens. This resignation letter by the CFO of Mitshi India has gone viral.
Rinku Patel, former CFO of the BSE-listed company submitted an handwritten resignation letter written on a ruled paper, the kind seen in a notebook that children use in school. And it was this letter that was sent to the stock exchange as well.
In the letter dated November 15, Patel said he would be resigning from the role of CFO with immediate effect due to “personal reasons.” A copy of the letter was shared on the Bombay Stock Exchange website on December 21, from where it made its way to social media.
Reuters reporter Sethuraman NR shared a picture of the handwritten resignation letter on X (formerly Twitter). In the caption he had quipped that the CFO seemed to 'have borrowed a page from his kid's rough note book and have written resignation letter in that'.
The post soon went viral, gaining over 1 lakh views and a ton of comments.
Another user in comments appreciated the handwriting and said that a kid must have written the note. Meanwhile, another user noted that the page was not even torn from the notebook.
“It may not be in proper form. However, it conveys substance and meets the legal requirements. Adds some flavour to the drab letters we keep seeing. And for some, it's a news story and conversation starter,” X user V Sudarshan added.
Mitshi India has a market capitalisation of Rs 19 crore. It was founded in 1976 as Dera Paints and Chemicals Ltd.
