    The Yahoo resignation parade is getting so popular that Wired contributing editor Mat Honan created a Do-It-Yourself Resignation Letter, just fill in the blanks and hit submit (nice subject line on that email, by the way).

    Today’s winner after yesterday’s record day of four executive departures is SVP Strategic Alliances Chris Bolte, who has definitely resigned, we’ve heard, although we don’t have any other details. Bolte reported to EVP Hilary Schneider, a buddy of President Sue Decker (which means her star is rising at Yahoo, expect her to be promoted).

    My recommendation to any Yahoo Execs who haven’t submitted a resignation letter yet – hold off for a week or so, you might find yourself promoted simply because no one else is still around.
