Sample resignation letter LinkedIn

Throughout the blog, we will see sample resignation leters from LinkedIn and other websites but we will mention the top tips from LinkedIn to write a good resignation letter:

• The opening. In this first paragraph, you should state clearly that you will be handing in your resignation. Be clear and confident this is final by avoiding sounding doubtful or let your boss think there is room for a counteroffer. Keep it simple and concise.
• Give proper notice. Let your employer know you will keep working during the notice period and when your last day of employment will be. Make sure you have investigated what the policy is around your company’s notice period since you don’t want to breach your contract.
• Reason for leaving. You are not obliged to let your employer know your reason for leaving so it is optional if you would like to share with them. However, keep it positive and avoid making negative comments about bad experiences with colleagues, your boss or the company.
• Offer assistance in the transition period. Make sure to stay true about being willing to help train your replacement and make sure your work is delivered in a timely manner. 
• Thank them for the experience. Focus on the positives you have had in your role and highlight some of the major opportunities you had (i.e. learning, skills gained, etc.).
• Wrap it up to professional. You can mention you are willing to stay in contact with your boss or colleagues by including your personal contact details. End your resignation letter with a warm closing such as “kind regards” or “best wishes”.
• Add your name and Sign your letter at the bottom.

Why do I need to write a resignation letter?

According to Austin Belcak from Cultivated Culture, here are some of the reasons why writing a resignation letter is a good idea:

• It serves as your official notice that you will be leaving the company.
• Sending a resignation letter also allows your company to make plans for your transition out of the firm.
• Sending a resignation letter is just common courtesy.
• Your resignation letter is a chance for you to exit your position without burning any bridges (I.e. good recomendation letter).

Re: Resignation

Delivery: By hand

Dear Rodrigo:

I am writing to put my resignation into immediate effect. In order to ensure electronic stamping, I have emailed a Word copy of this letter to Briana Andersen, our HR Business Partner in the regional office at Long Beach.

Let us set up a meeting focused on setting expectations for my remaining days. I intend to close my availability to Y LinCargo no later than 5 p.m. EST at the close of business from my alternate New York home office on the last Friday of this month. I will end things there at my normal end-of-month location. Perhaps we should both plan to have any paperwork relevant to employment handy to reference. Mine is on file if you have questions but cannot conference with your own.

My decision to leave my post is final, as I have made other plans. However, I am looking forward to coordinating things so my final acts of business with Y LinCargo conclude for as smooth a transition as we might hope to achieve when I leave.

I have no concern over my planned PTO vacation coming after I depart. I spoke with Cindy about my final check including that time. I also made sure she understood my travel discounts were obtained during my employment and will be applied to charges for my hotel during my stay as finalized onsite in Florence. 

Kindly tell me when you would like to meet.

Thank you,

Lola
