Dear Mr. Hernandez,

I regret to submit my resignation from my position as marketing manager at Advertising, Inc. My last day of employment will be January 4, 2020. 

Due to the unforeseen backlash of last quarter’s marketing campaign, management recommended that I resign from my position at the company. I am disappointed by the outcome of events, but I understand that Advertising, Inc. is looking to reform its marketing efforts going forward.

I am grateful for my time here. This position has helped me pinpoint my talents and my areas for improvement. I will use what I learned as a marketing manager in my future endeavors.

Upon my resignation, the company still owes me 24 hours of paid time off. The human resources department and I communicated this already, and they will add the equivalent payment to my final paycheck. The marketing team will take over all of my correspondence with clients and create a plan to move forward in my absence.

Thank you for this opportunity, and I wish the company nothing but the best.

Sincerely,

Colton Barr

Dear Mrs. Green,

It is to my dissatisfaction that I submit my resignation from my position as lead custodian at West Hills High School. My decision to end my employment will be effective immediately.

I loved my time at West Hills High School, but because of budget cuts, the school system can no longer afford my salary. I wish we could have worked out an agreement that allowed me to grow in my career, but it appears that circumstances will not allow it. I am forced to resign from this position and will look for new employment elsewhere.

I am thankful for the past five years I have spent at West Hills High School. The students were respectful, and the staff was friendly. I will miss all of the people I have connected with during my employment.

I accept the severance package the superintendent has offered me. The remaining custodians will cover my current duties until the school finds a solution for the budget cuts.

Best,

Linda Michaels

[Date]

[Immediate Supervisor],

Please accept this letter as notice of my formal resignation from my position at [xyz company]. My last day of employment will be [date].

I want to thank you for providing me with this opportunity three years ago. You saw my potential and provided the chance to learn from you and the team in ways that I could not envision and in ways that were unclear to me at the time. We’ve tackled many successful projects together, but my favorite was [project x]. That’s the project that showcased to me how much your mentorship expanded my [descriptive] expertise, and we had a lot of fun along the way. The time you spent teaching and challenging me has left a lasting impact on my career and development, and I’m grateful to have worked for you.

I wish you and everyone at [company] the best and look forward to staying in touch and helping in any way that I can — during and after this smooth transition. I’m reachable at [email] or [phone].

Sincerely,

[Name]

I am resigning from my position as [title] for [xyz company] on [date].

I am happy to work with you and the team throughout the next two-week transition. To help ensure a seamless handoff of responsibilities, I’ve listed the projects that I still expect to be outstanding on my last day, including:

[Project One]

[Project Two]

[Project Three]

Thank you very much for the professional and personal development opportunities that you have provided me during the last few years.

[Phone number or email]

[Date]

[Immediate Supervisor],

I am resigning from my position at [xyz company], effective [date].

One year ago, you took a chance on me, and I took a chance on the company. I appreciate that both sides took a risk on each other. While it’s tempting just to walk away, I feel obligated to explain my decision in hopes that it sparks positive change for the colleagues that I’m leaving behind.

I’m resigning because the company is using improper accounting to bolster its financial performance. In my initial memo to you dated [month, day, year], I outlined each accounting trick that is hiding losses the company is sustaining. In a subsequent meeting on [month, day, year] and attended by you, [name], and [name], we discussed each of the accounting issues in detail and decided to refer the matter to the company’s Vice President. On [month, day, year] a follow-up meeting was held and attended by the same group, the Vice President said the matter had been investigated and concluded that no changes would be made because we are an “aggressive company.” This is an outcome that I cannot accept.

The company’s business is built on trust. When its customers and employees find out about the true financial performance of the company, their trust will be destroyed and I expect the company will have to cease operations. This letter of resignation is my last effort to implore the company to correct its practices.

Thank you for the opportunity to be heard.

Sincerely,

[Name]

[Subject: Normally bold, summarizes the intention of the letter] -Optional-

Dear [Recipients Name],

Due to sudden events, I am forced to inform you of my resignation from the post of Senior Projects Manager, which is to be put into effect immediately.

The reason behind my resignation is that I have recently been receiving a lot of anonymous letters, messages, and emails that are all very threatening and violent in nature. I believe that my recent speech about employees violating the company policy has caused this. These threats have been taking a toll on me and my work, and I am getting to be very stressed about these events. Part of the demands of the person or people threatening me is that I leave the company immediately lest anything bad happens to me.

I thank you for all the experiences I have gained with your company, and I do hope that you will be able to resolve whatever issues are in your business as well. Thank you for everything.

Sincerely,

[Senders Name]
