Resignation Letter Examples

A resignation letter formally communicates your intent to leave, confirms timing, and sets a positive tone for transition. Keep it brief, professional, and appreciative. Verify your contract or handbook for notice period requirements and state your exact last working day. Avoid negative remarks; focus on gratitude and handover. Include the following details: - Header: Your information, date, and your manager’s name/title/company. - Salutation: Address your immediate manager or HR contact. - Statement of resignation: Clear intent to resign from the specific role. - Effective date: Last working day and acknowledgement of notice period (e.g., 2 weeks/30 days) if applicable. - Transition support: Offer to assist with handover, documentation, training, and returning company assets. - Appreciation: Thank the company/team for opportunities and experience. - Closing and signature: Professional sign‑off and your signature.
