IMF: Has released the resignation letter of DSK in full:
Ladies and Gentlemen of the Board:
It is with infinite sadness that I feel compelled today to present to the Executive Board my resignation from my post of Managing Director of the IMF. I think at this time first of my wife—whom I love more than anything—of my children, of my family, of my friends. I think also of my colleagues at the Fund; together we have accomplished such great things over the last three years and more. To all, I want to say that I deny with the greatest possible firmness all of the allegations that have been made against me. I want to protect this institution which I have served with honor and devotion, and especially—especially—I want to devote all my strength, all my time, and all my energy to proving my innocence.

Thank goodness Coalition PM David Cameron made it clear before the arrest of DSK that he would veto the nomination of former Labour PM Gordon Brown as the next head of the IMF. One can argue that the present economic mess of the UK is down the time that Gordon Brown was Chancellor and Prime Minister. Also giving Mr Brown the job would give the Labour Party a weapon to beat the Coalition with, thus this is a no go area for Mr Brown.
