Dr. Elaine Chen Riverview Middle School
Dear Dr. Elaine Chen, I am resigning from my role as 8th Grade Mathematics Teacher at Riverview Middle School, effective December 20, 2025. This allows time to conclude grading and prepare detailed handover notes. I will coordinate with the department to transition lesson plans, assessments, and student records to the incoming teacher. Thank you for the support and collaboration within the school community.
Sincerely, Jordan A. Smith

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.
