Writing an “Open-ended resignation letter.”

When writing an “Open-ended resignation letter,” these are some of the things that you need to keep in mind.

• The first step is to tell your employer about leaving your 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.

Sample 1:

“Dear (Supervisor Name): 

This letter is to inform you that I am resigning from my position as (job title) with (company name), effective (date). I am willing to stay on for two weeks — until (date) — to provide a seamless transition for my replacement. 

I have appreciated the opportunity to learn from you and contribute to the company in this role. Being part of the team that launched the (name of the project) that sparked the division to its highest revenues ever is something that I will always remember. 

One of the most challenging things about moving on is the loss of your guidance. I have greatly benefited from your leadership and mentoring, and I would welcome the opportunity to keep in contact in the future, as I sincerely value your knowledge and experience. 

We will need to work out my final work schedule as well as the disposition of my accrued vacation/leave time and employee benefits. I will await your guidance on how to handle these issues. 

Again, thank you for the opportunity. I would enjoy staying in contact. Please feel free to reach me at (personal e-mail address). 

I wish you — and the company — all the best. 

Sincerely, 

Your Name”
