The following is a brief excerpt from President-elect Barack Obama’s letter to the people of Illinois announcing his resignation from the U.S. Senate.:

“Today, I am ending one journey to begin another. After serving the people of Illinois in the United States Senate — one of the highest honors and privileges of my life — I am stepping down as senator to prepare for the responsibilities I will assume as our nation’s next president.

Here is the letter.
