Sample resignation letter immediate

A sample resignation letter with immediate effect may start as the following example from thebalancecareers.com:

“Dear Ms. Lee: I regret to inform you that I am resigning from my position here immediately as a Business Development Consultant for personal reasons. My last day will be tomorrow. I know this is unexpected, but I am happy to assist you in the replacement process to help alleviate the transition.”

But, what is an immediate letter of resignation? Basically is a written notice to let your employer know of your imminent departure.

Usually, employers expect their employers to give at least a 2 weeks notice (15-day notice) but it will actually depend on your employment agreement (i.e. 3-months, one month notice).

However, there may be personal reasons or problems, health reasons, family reasons, new job opportunities, etc., that may force you to leave your job earlier than this or under short notice (i.e. 24 hours). 

How can you resign with immediate effect?

Make sure you contact your employer as soon as possible and let them know your departure is imminent.

You could tell your line manager or boss about the reasons for your sudden leave.

This may help preserve your professional relationship since employers are less sympathetic to employees who submit their resignation on short notice and do not attempt to explain what may be happening that forced you to take this decision. 

Try to give at least 2 weeks’ notice when possible and if not then try to provide as much advanced warning as possible.

When submitting your resignation letter with immediate effect, make sure you address it accordingly and keep a copy for your personal records.

It is with great regret that I must give notice of my resignation, effective immediately. I apologize for not being able to give you more notice, and I humbly ask that you accept my resignation from the position of Accountant and Co-Manager this day, January 11th, 2017.

While I am aware that this is in breach of the terms of my employment contract, I ask that you waive this clause, due to my extenuating personal circumstances.

Thank you for everything that you do at Blue Ridge to make it such a great place to work. I will miss you and everyone else at the office. It has been a real pleasure to work for you these past four years. I am very sorry that I am not able to leave on better terms.
