The 1st statement is natural. The second is not. :)

Thank you so much!
What makes the No 2 sentence unnatural?
Is it "in the last resort", or "the company's president", or both?

You're welcome. Placing "in the last resort" at the latter part of the sentence makes it unnatural.

I see, then does this sound natural?
"In the last resort, I called the company's president myself."
"In the last resort, I called the company's president myself."

I think it sounds unnatural. "In" (preposition) is not appropriate in this statement. The 1st statement is still the best way to say it.
