Resignation letter penned by one avoiding funny business (14)
I believe the answer is:
submissiveness
'resignation' is the definition.
(thesaurus)
'letter penned by one avoiding funny business' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'letter' could be 'missive' (synonyms) and 'missive' is found in the answer.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
