Asking a Senior Employee to Resign

Dear friends,

i am faced with the tough task of balancing traditional mindsets alongwith modern mindsets. I work with a sister concern of a 20 yr old construction company. My company is into IT. we have an assistant on board, around 55-56 yrs old. i personally dislike him for various reasons, but leaving that aside, many other employees are facing problems with him. the VP has asked me to ask this empoyee to put down his papers. i am much younger, and finding it extremely awkward to tell him to resign. My thinking was to ask his boss to ask him to resign, but i have a strong feeling, that i will be asked to do the dirty work! Any suggestions on how i should handle this.

Regards,
Tania
