Resignation letter due to going abroad

A resignation letter due to going abroad can be issued due to several reasons.

Some of them consist of being accepted at a higher institution abroad, getting a job in a different country, marrying someone that lives abroad or just deciding to travel the world taking a sabbatical year. 

Therefore, unless you can work from your laptop, it is necessary to hand in a resignation letter due to going abroad.

Here are a few examples of how to write it but remember, you will need to adapt any of the samples to your own circumstances.
