Resignation letter due to travel distance (Samples)

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

Resignation letter due to travel distance

A resignation letter due to travel distance is issued when someone has found many problems when commuting to their workplace, especially when you feel it takes too much time to commute to work and back.

Long travel distances can be considered stressful and annoying, especially if you have to take more than one method of transportation or if you have to spend many hours stuck in traffic. 

Here are some examples but remember you can always adjust it to your circumstances or instead of naming the reason as “travel distance” you could try submitting your resignation letter under “personal reasons”.

Leaving on good terms and maintaining a professional tone would be the best recommendation so you can assure you to leave that door open.

In this scenario, this person is changing their residence, so they know they will have problems commuting every day to work.

This can also be considered as a relocation so you can treat it as such, or leave the reason for your resignation as “travel distance” or “traveling problems”.

Dear Manager HR,

This letter is to resign from my job of (Job Designation). Due to change in the residence, I am facing difficulties in coming to work every morning. (Write your actual problem and situation).
