“Dear Mr. Green,

I just wanted to confirm my upcoming resignation from ABC Company. As you may know, I have recently decided to switch careers, so I will no longer be able to come to work due to my schedule. My last day of work at ABC Company will be September 15, 2014, so please consider this letter to be my official two weeks’ notice of resignation. I appreciate your understanding in this matter.

I plan to finish all existing projects and work hard during my last two weeks, and put forth all efforts to either reassign responsibilities appropriately, or work on training a replacement to take over for me. If you would like to discuss this with me further, please do not hesitate to contact me at (555)-555-5555 or [email] and I will return messages as soon as possible. I look forward to hearing from you.

I am grateful for all of the great experience I have earned during my time at ABC Company. I will miss everyone there but I know I have made a good decision. I wish ABC Company continued success and thank you for your patience and cooperation with me during this time.

Yours sincerely,
