Sample 1:

“Dear Ms. Sutherland,

I am writing this letter to let you know that I am resigning from my position as project director at ABC Company. The hours are too long and the deadlines are too short. I thought I would be able to handle these demands, but after working there for some time the stress has simply become too much and my health is beginning to show the signs. My last day of work will be July 15, 2014, so please accept this letter as my official two weeks’ notice of resignation from ABC Company.

I would like to offer my apologies for any inconvenience this may cause to anyone at ABC Company. If I can be of any assistance in selecting a replacement to take over my duties, I would be happy to oblige. Please contact me via phone at (555)-555-5555 or via email at [email] I look forward to discussing this with you further.

Although the work itself causes too much stress for me to handle, I will in fact regret leaving the great coworkers I have been privileged to work alongside. I wish them all every success and hope that our paths may cross again some day. I will continue to hold ABC Company in high regard but look forward to my future elsewhere. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation in this matter.

Yours sincerely,

Joseph Browning”

“Dear Mr. Fox:

I am writing this letter to inform you of my decision to resign from my position as Marketing Manager at PIP Inc. As per my contract terms, I am providing a 30 days’ notice of my intent to leave. April 10 will be my last working day.

Over the past few months, I have been extremely depressed due to the workload. This amalgamation has wreaked havoc on my mental and emotional health. In fact, it is threatening to affect my work. Given these points, I believe that it is in the best interest of both me and the company that I resign so that no harm is done on either side.

I am truly grateful to you for providing me with a chance to work at PIP Inc. and training me well to do the job. I hope that you can find a replacement for me soon so that I can provide assistance in training him or her before I leave.

Sincerely,

(Signature)

Greta Garland”

“Dear Mr./Ms. Manager:

It is with reluctance that I submit this letter. Although my time with (company name) has been, on the whole, satisfying and productive, for quite a while now I have become less and less satisfied with the work load. The direction of the company, the group in which I work, and the new targets and the methods of accomplishing them have made it increasingly difficult to feel I’m contributing enough.

Therefore, it is with regret that I ask you to accept this letter of resignation from (company name) effective (last day of work).

Sincerely,

Dear John —

This letter is my formal resignation, resigning from my position as Product Designer at Apple. Unfortunately, I don’t feel I’m equipped to handle the workload. I have a newborn at home that has taken the majority of my time. And I’ve decided it’s best for both Apple and myself to resign from my position and seek part-time employment.

Thank you for this opportunity, and I will sincerely cherish all the time we had together. I’m appreciative of the education that I’ve received, the mentorship, and if it were not for my focus reshifting at home, I would continue with my position.

My final date of employment will be two weeks from today, August 19th, 2019.

Sincerely,

John Smith”

Sample 5:

“Dear Ms. Jacob,

I am writing this letter to inform you of my resignation from my position as manager’s assistant at ABC Company. I regret to inform you that unfortunately I am resigning due to unsatisfactory work circumstances. My last day of work will be October 15, 2014, so please accept this letter as my official two weeks’ notice of resignation from work. I would like to apologize in advance for any inconveniences that my resignation may cause to you, the rest of the staff, or ABC Company.

During my time at ABC Company, I have been repeatedly subjected to demands of extra hours of work, sometimes unpaid, sometimes overnight. Being an assistant, I felt that if I refused my job could be in jeopardy, so I strove to oblige at all times. This has led to a decline in my overall health. It is my hope that this letter may bring attention to this issue so that future employees may not go through the same demands. If you would like to discuss this with me further, please contact me at (555)-555-5555 or [email]

I am appreciative of the great experience I have earned while working at ABC Company and will miss the rest of the team members. I wish you and ABC Company every success and hope that conditions there can be improved for all parties. I hope you understand and appreciate your efforts.

Yours sincerely,

Andrew Richards”
