To James T. Kirk,
I would like to inform you that I am resigning from my position as First Officer and Science Officer of the U.S.S. Enterprise. I would like my resignation to be effective immediately.
Thank you for the professional and personal development you have assisted me with for the duration of our service together. I hold you in highest esteem and respect. I consider all the crewmembers aboard this ship to be a personal friend or colleague, and their absence will be felt. However, due to recent events, I am not able to fulfill my duties to you any longer, at the standard you expect and deserve. I anticipate that my career will take a different direction and I feel it is time to move on.
Please do not feel that this reflects in any way on you. You are my dearest friend and brother, and I will never forget you.
Sincerely,
S’chn T’gai Spock

Dear Jim,
When you find this letter, I will already be gone. I am sorry that I cannot give you a goodbye face to face, as you deserve. If I face you, I know that any resolution I make to leave will disappear and I will return to the Enterprise. You deserve much more than I can give, and though it pains me to say it, I am sure you will find another, one who can better return your love.
You already know why I am leaving. I do not know who I am any longer. I do not know if there any logic in this universe. I have searched for answers, I have reached for control of myself and have found neither. I am going to a place which may provide those answers and restore that control. Please do not believe that my departure is in any way your fault. You have stood by me. You have held me in my moments of fear. You have loved me. You have changed me. There are no words for the gratitude and love I feel towards you. I will never forget you.
I will not tell you where I am going, because you are likely to follow after me. But know that wherever I go, your memory will burn bright within me. Know that I will love for the rest of my days. We have not always been friends. But know that I will always be your friend, no matter how time passes.
It has been an honor to serve with you, captain.
Yours,
Spock, First Officer of the U.S.S. Enterprise
