Immediate resignation letter due to personal reasons
An immediate resignation letter due to personal reasons can be considered one of the most common resignation letters.
This is a written notice that informs your employer of your imminent departure, however, for some companies, it is usually required to submit a two-weeks notice before leaving, so they have plenty of time to get a suitable replacement.
In some cases, it is not possible to inform within the 2 weeks notice and it is necessary to give in your resignation letter with immediate effect and under short notice due to personal reasons such attending a health issue or having to take care of a family member, among other several personal reasons.

Dear Ms. Lee:
I regret to inform you that I am resigning from my position here immediately as a Business Development Consultant for personal reasons. My last day will be tomorrow. I know this is unexpected, but am happy to assist you in the replacement process to help alleviate the transition.
I cannot thank you enough for the opportunities this company has provided me. Working here for the last five years has been incredibly instrumental in my personal growth, and I will never forget the colleagues and friends I have made here.
I will miss both the customers and the company alike very much.
If there is anything I can do to help make this transition easier, please let me know. I do not intend to inconvenience you with this news, and I hope you will accept my most sincere apologies in making June 1 my final day here.
If necessary, I can be available for phone and email inquiries from home on a limited basis for the weeks following my departure date.
Thank you so much for your understanding in this matter. I have loved my job, and I will look back on my time here with wonderful memories.
Sincerely,
Sheryl Lau”

Sales Director
Atlantic Co.

Business City, NY 54321
Dear Mr. Lee:
I am writing to inform you that I will be leaving Atlantic Co. in one month. Although I have so enjoyed working with you and working for the company, personal reasons necessitate that I vacate my position and focus on improving my situation at home.
My final day will be July 1st. Despite having to leave, I deeply appreciate the opportunities you’ve provided me with during my time as Online Sales Manager. I am very grateful for all of your assistance along the way.
I will do whatever necessary to ensure a smooth transition after I move on. I have several team members in mind who I believe would be strong candidates for a promotion to my position, or I would be happy to assist with the process of finding an external replacement. Please do not hesitate to be in touch about what I can do to help.
Once again, thank you so much for the opportunity to be a part of Atlantic Co. I do hope that we can stay in touch as business colleagues, and I look forward to working with you again in the future should the opportunity present itself. Many thanks for your understanding.
Sincerely,
Jennifer Lau (signature hard copy letter)

Dear Ms. Windsor,
Please accept this letter as notice of my immediate resignation from the position of Events Technician at Ministry Sound Tech, effective April 1st, 2017. Regrettably, I will be unable to come into the office or work past that date.
Working for Ministry has given me the opportunity to start a career as a sound technician and I will be forever grateful for that. I cannot think of another company which could have provided a better training. I have always been impressed by the professional attitude of all my co-workers, both in the field and at the office. I hope to continue my career in this spirit, and I would like to thank you for the many lessons that you taught me.
If you could send my employment record and any outstanding wages to my home address before June 1st, it would be greatly appreciated.
I will miss working with you and the rest of the Ministry Sound team. If you have any questions or need to speak with me for any reason, don’t hesitate to contact me.
Thank you for your time.
Sincerely,
