    One owner is out on a farm and I don't know how to get there. The other lives in Seattle 4 hours away. We do all communications by email. I would have tried to delay and get it to them in person, but I can't extend the start of my next position past 2 weeks, so in order to give as much notice as possible I couldn't respond in person.

    The response was "Go fuck yourself"

    just kidding, they wished me luck and hope I stop by frequently to say hi.

    Did you tell them the place was very poorly run?

    When an employee leaves your place for another it is implied.

    knowing what not to do in wine making was probably invaluable experience

    I made several suggestions during my employment but they didn't really care if the place was successful. The owners have a very profitable large wheat farm and I think just make wine so they can bring their own bottles to parties. I could have doubled their sales without much effort if given the chance.

    Have someone tell them you died.

    Problem solved.

    Your way was definitely much more professional, and this doesn't sound warranted for your situation. However this is one way to get it done.

    Dear BOSS:

    I have enjoyed my time at Stars Cabaret. However, I believe the time has come where I need to pursue other career opportunities, so this email serves as two weeks notice of the end of my employment with your company effective as soon as my rapping career takes off (which will be soon).

    Thank you for your guidance in my journey.

    Sincerely,
    MC Such and Such
