Dear, [Mr./Mrs./Miss/Ms.] [First name] [Last name],
It is with great regret that I must submit my resignation, effective (date). My doctor has informed me that my disability is exacerbated by several of my required job duties. I need to attend to my health, and therefore I must leave on fairly short notice.
I am available for any assistance you require over the next (amount of time). Thank you for all your support and for your understanding in this matter.
Sincerely,
[First name] [last name]”

“Dear sir:
I, John Smith, cannot continue to perform my duties because I am currently disabled. My doctor, Dr. Mayo, has placed me on medical restrictions and limitations that prevent me from returning to work indefinitely. I will be applying for short and long term disability benefits that I am entitled to as an employee. I have attached a copy of my doctor’s medical assessment of my condition.
I’ll do everything possible to complete my duties and train others as needed. I wish you and the company all the best and hope to stay in touch in the future.
Sincerely,
[First name] [last name]”
Sample 3:
“Dear [Recipient]:
This letter is to serve as my resignation from [Position] at [Company], effective [Resignation date].
I am regretfully resigning due to a serious health complication. My doctors and I feel it would be best to remain focused on recovering, which, unfortunately, includes stepping down from my duties at [Company], as I am unable to meet the expectations as [Position] while struggling with my disability.
I could not be more grateful for all of the opportunities I’ve had to grow and make lifelong friends during my time at [Company]. I’d like to thank you deeply for your guidance and support during my employment.
Please feel free to let me know how I can assist with making the transition as smooth as possible. I wish you and [Company] the very best in the future.
Sincerely,”

Mr. Phillip Harlowe
Director of Human Resources
TransShipping, Inc.
637 Northern Blvd.
Durham, NC 27703
Dear Mr. Harlowe:
It is with deep sadness that I must inform you of my decision to resign immediately from my position as Account Manager for TransShipping, Inc. due to my disability. At this time, it is recommended by my team of physicians that I remove myself from the workplace to better focus on regaining my health.
I’ve so enjoyed working at TransShipping, Inc., and I am deeply saddened that I will not be associated with the company in the future.
I understand that sufficient notice of my intent to leave is expected, but unfortunately, I am not well enough to complete the notice period, which is why I have requested an immediate release.
I will be available on a sporadic basis (as my pain allows) if you would like me to help train the person who will replace me. Thank you for all you’ve done to contribute to my professional growth, and please feel free to keep in touch.
Sincerely,
Paul Bock (signed)
