The letter from Hunt to the club's Indian owners Venky's was written in December and stated he wanted them to sack manager Steve Kean.
The owners have stood by Kean however, despite Rovers being relegated on Monday, and reports that Hunt instead has parted company with the club have now been confirmed.
