Writing a “temporary resignation letter”
When writing a “temporary resignation letter,” these are some of the things that you need to keep in mind.
- Since temporary jobs often have a predetermined expiration date, it’s important to understand the terms of your employment. However, because the job isn’t permanent, it’s likely there’s more flexibility if you need to resign earlier than the agreed-upon date.
- The first step is to tell your employer about leaving the job and the final work date. Keep it short as the essential part of the letter is the Last Date of your work.
- Indicate the reason you are leaving your job. It would be best to be polite as you will leave a positive impression on your employer. Maintain your composure when drafting the letter.
- Finally, thank your employer for the position and the opportunities you have enjoyed during your work period.
- Ensure you proofread your letter before sending it to your employer. You can send the letter to your family and friend to check for grammatical errors.

Sample 3: “Temporary resignation letters”
“Dear Ms. Garcia,
I am just writing to confirm my temporary resignation from my position as assistant manager at Smith Communications. As you may know, I am taking this leave in order to care for my ill grandmother, who does not have much time left according to her doctors. I will be spending this time keeping her comfortable until she passes. Once all of the arrangements have been completed, I will be able to return to work. My resignation comes into effect on December 15, 2014, so this letter is my two weeks’ notice of temporary resignation.
Since I still have a little time left at the office before I leave, I will put forth all efforts to either finish current projects or reassign them appropriately, in hopes that I can resume work with minimal inconvenience when I return. I hope that you will contact me at your convenience at (555)-555-5555 or [email] if you need to speak to me about any of these matters.
I know that taking this time away to care for my grandmother is in the best interest of all parties involved, though I regret causing any stress to the company. I look forward to making it up upon my return and wish Smith Communications continued success. Thank you for your patience and cooperation with me at this time.
Yours sincerely,
Carrie Hamilton

Dear Mr. Flahrety,
Please allow this letter to serve as official notice of my temporary resignation as chief dispatcher of Orion Corporation. As you and I have recently discussed, I have had several significant family issues arise in Ireland that I need to go attend to. I will be resigning as of September 15, 2014 and able to return to work on February 1, 2015.
During the next two weeks, I will make certain that all of my job duties are spread out among my staff. I am confident that Brian Holder can act as temporary supervisor in my absence. Brian is well aware of all of my job duties and is more than capable of keeping things running smoothly while I am gone. Brian also has my contact information in case he has any needs.
I do appreciate the option of temporary resignation to solve this problem. I definitely will do my best to keep Brian up to speed and also to make sure that I return to the company as soon as possible. You can reach me at 000-000-0000 or email me at email@email.com if you have any questions.
Sincerely Yours,
Gary T. O’Brien”
