Sample resignation letter going to abroad

A sample resignation letter going abroad is very useful if you are traveling abroad either because you are taking a sabbatical (i.e. personal growth) or for marriage purposed and living abroad, or if you want to pursue higher education studies in a foreign country, or receive medical treatment for a health condition, etc, Whatever the reason might be for traveling abroad it is important to consider, especially if you are resigning your first job, to be very professional when leaving. 

You could be a nurse working at a hospital, a multiple manager or a computer attendant in academic or a public setting, or be in any other career field, still, it is important to remember to be brief and straight to the point, consider your company’s or organization’s notice period (i.e. 1-month notice or the standard 2 weeks notice) to avoid a breach in your contract.

However, if you need to resign giving a one day notice or with immediate effect due to an urgent matter you need to attend before going abroad, let your employer know as soon as possible since they may need to take action to find a replacement as soon as possible.

Kindly accept this resignation letter of mine as a formal notification of my impending departure from your organization. Indeed, I shall step down as a (job title) with effect from (date).

This is over, and above the skill and expertise, I have managed to accumulate with time.

I know that my departure has definitely exerted a toll on your firm. To help mitigate the adverse effects of the same, I offer myself to help with the transition. Kindly get to me in case you want my support during the transition period. I promise to provide the necessary logistical assistance.
