Hi neighbours,

We recently heard from a man who received a delayed remaining annual leave entitlement upon his resignation because his manager wouldn't accept a handwritten resignation letter.

If this has happened to you, we'd like to hear from you! What did your letter say? Was it professionally written but still rejected?

What was your manager's reason for rejecting it? What did you do about it?

Let us know in the comments or email caroline.williams@stuff.co.nz.

In our own backyard, our youngest kids are going without the basics. Unlike schools, early childhood centres don’t have a nationwide support programme. Children under 5 are at the most crucial age for brain development.

But KidsCan is helping. Since October they've been delivering five fresh meals a week to 25 early childhood centres, and kitting out kids with new raincoats and shoes. They want to extend the programme, so no one misses out on learning.

KidsCan, Neighbourly and Stuff have partnered up to raise enough money to feed and clothe 1000 more children under five. To support a child, sign up at KidsCan.org.nz.
