Giving notice on contract - any particular wording I should use?

He's a new contractor and giving notice and asking for a bit of advice, isn't that what this thing is for? God give a the a guy a break.

Indeed but it's frustrating when people don't understand the absolute basics of their engagement. If they understood who they are contracted with and who they should inform out of professional courtesy they would not only not have to ask this question it would make many other situations clear rather than flailing about everytime.

it's also very frustrating to come and ask for advice and find snarky responses. it's a forum, where people come with questions to look for advice, if you haven't got any useful advice to give, then move along to a post where you do have something useful to input. Constantly telling people "ask your accountant" isn't very helpful, if I want to check with my accountant, I'll ask my accountant, if I want to ask a forum, I'll ask a forum.

That might be true for you but many people are either just being lazy or are not used to having an accountant on tap. They get stuck and just hit the net. If that is the case a bit of prodding to point out this is the beat place and there are better options is good advice IMO.
