Resignation letter due to family relocation (Samples)

In this brief blog post, we will provide examples of a resignation letter due to family relocation.

Resignation letter due to family relocation

A resignation letter due to family relocation is a very common type of letter since sometimes we have the need to relocate to be closer to a relative that has a difficult health condition, and we need to attend them or take care of them. In addition, sometimes there is no need of having a relative whose health has been compromised, but we just want to be closer to them because it makes us feel happy or less lonely. 

On some other occasions, it could happen that you live with relatives, and they lose their jobs, or they get relocated to another city.

In this case, you would have to think about going with them or staying in your current position.

In addition, you could also check if the current company you are working for has other branches in the city your family is relocating to. 

Here we present some examples of resignation letters due to family relocation.

Dear [Name of recipient]

Thank you so much for offering me this job. I have enjoyed every bit of my time in this company. I have learned many lessons, and I believe I am a better employee than I joined this firm. However, unfortunately, I have to leave this firm. I am relocating with my family to Chicago and so being part of this firm, unfortunately, is not an option.

I am planning to report on 4TH Dec as the last day. During the two weeks that I shall be here, I promise to train my team members, update my files, and do any other responsibility you will request me to do. I desire that the company gets a smooth transition as I leave.

Feel free to engage me in any way for the two weeks and even after I have left. I have updated my details in my files. If there be an opportunity in Chicago, do not hesitate to offer me the chance. I appreciate you for the privileges that you have accorded me during my stay here.

Best wishes,

I feel I owe you a lot of gratitude for the season that I have worked with you. I have had a good time working with people who respect and understand me. I have gotten a pleasant experience. However, I feel I should be allowed to quit this firm following my Relocation to Chicago.

Allow me to work on 4th Dec 20XX as my last day. Before then, I am willing to work with you in giving the company a smooth transition. I am working on updating my files and also training my team members.

Feel free to contact me anytime regarding my department. If there happens to be an opening in Chicago, feel free to engage me. I also request that we keep a working relationship. I hope that you will get a better replacement for me.
