Please accept this letter as my formal resignation from the position of service captain. As per the contract I signed when I began, I am submitting my resignation 30 days prior to my final date. Therefore, my last day working as service captain will be April 3rd.

I am excited to advance my career and move closer to fulfilling my long-term career goals. As I move forward, I will utilize the skills I developed in this position, including management, service, communication, and administration. I am so grateful to have had the opportunity to build these skills, as well as the relationships I established here.

Of course, I would like to do anything I can during these final 30 days to make the transition as simple as possible. As soon as you have chosen which employee will be my replacement, I would be happy to help train him or her to fill my role. In particular, I feel Emily has the skills necessary to thrive as the new service captain.

Thank you again for the four years I have spent with this company. I appreciate all the help I have received.

Respectfully yours,

Frequently Asked Questions (30-Day Resignation Letter)

What do you mean by 30 days’ notice?

A 30-day notice means formally informing your employers that you will no longer work from them 30 days from the day of informing.

How do I professionally resign immediately?

To resign immediately, you need to inform and explain why you have to leave at such short notice. This is only possible if your employment contract allows for this. Otherwise, you may have to find a way to compensate for the inconvenience monetarily or with other resources.

How do I resign for a month?

If you hand in your resignation, you are choosing to leave the job. If you only want a month’s period of a break after which you’d like to return, you need to apply for leave. Once you resign, you cannot come back unless invited by your employer.
