How to write a resignation letter for an executive assistant

Just as you may have had to write a cover letter to get the job and become an employee of the company, it is important you write a formal resignation letter to leave on a good note.  

Remember always to check the notice period with your manager or HR department before you submit your resignation so you make sure you don’t breach any clause in your contract. When writing an “Executive assistant resignation letter,” these are some of the things that you need to keep in mind.

• The first step is to tell the boss about leaving the job and the final work date. Keep it short as the essential part of the letter is the Last Date of your work.
• Indicate the reason you are leaving your job. It would be best to be polite as you will leave a positive impression on your employer. Maintain your composure when drafting the letter.
• Finally, thank your boss for the position and the opportunities you have enjoyed during your work period.
• Ensure you proofread your letter before sending it to your employer. You can send the letter to your family and friend to check for grammatical errors.
