A sample resignation letter Microsoft Word can be written containing the following (letter format) :

• Your name, address, date, and company name.
• Company address and addressee or name of the recipient.
• Your resignation declaration.
• Last day of employment.
• Reason for leaving (optional)
• A “thank you” statement.
• Warm closing and your signature.

So you are an employee wanting to leave your current job may be because you have found a better job opportunity, you want to change your career, go abroad, keep studying or maybe you need to attend personal matters, but you are wondering what is the best way to resign and what you should include in your letter.

Writing and handing in a formal resignation letter doesn’t have to be a horrible experience. 

What should your resignation letter include? Well, we talked about the formal and keep in mind to be short and straight to the point.

Also, talk in a positive tone to leave on good terms. When submitting your letter, make sure you do it in advance giving them generally between 1 month to two weeks’ notice.

However, be prepared if your employer decides to accept your resignation letter as an immediate resignation. 

The key to a professional resignation would be to remain polite, only include positive comments, take the opportunity to thank your employer for the time you worked for them, and offer to help in the transition period, when possible.

If you have any questions ask them at the end of your letter, finish with a warm closing and sign it.
