Is it ok to send a resignation letter by email?

I work for a small company with two locations and I hardly ever cross paths with my manager. We talk on the phone daily but I don't see him a lot. Is it ok to send my resignation letter by email or should I make a special trip to the other store when I know he is working and give it to him?

1. If you want to leave on good terms and use him as a reference, see him in person. If you can't do that, call him and speak on the phone before following up in writing. Just sending it by e-mail will be considered unprofessional by many people.
2. It should be delivered in person. 1. this insures that he Really gets it. 2. It's the proper was to resign.
3. NOOOOOOOOO! that is one of the worst things you can do when leaving a job. If you need a referance or reccomendation, you wont get one if leave a bad last impression.
