Sample 1: Touching Resignation Letter
“Tiffany Swenson
Administrative coordinator
December 15, 2021
Dear Brett,
I’m writing this letter to formally announce my resignation from my role at the University of Urbandale. My last day is December 31, 2021.
I’d like to thank you for the all the mentorship and guidance you’ve given me during my time here. I feel like I was really able to grow as a professional and as a person in this position. While it saddens me to go, I’m happy to know that I’ve gained lifelong friends from my role. The team here is really remarkable, and I’m sad to leave such an incredible group of people.
I plan to turn in my university computer, my office key and my speaker before leaving on the 31st. I have already called the financial services office about canceling my purchasing card and am transferring recurring charges to Makenna’s card number.
I plan to come back and visit as much as I can. It truly has been a pleasure working with everyone. Please keep in touch.
Thank you again for the opportunity,
Tiffany”

Frequently Asked Questions (Touching Resignation Letter)
How do I professionally resign immediately?
To resign immediately, you need to inform and explain why you have to leave at such short notice. This is only possible if your employment contract allows for this. Otherwise, you may have to find a way to compensate for the inconvenience monetarily or with other resources.
How do I resign for a month?
If you hand in your resignation, you are choosing to leave the job. If you only want a month’s period of a break after which you’d like to return, you need to apply for leave. Once you resign, you cannot come back unless invited by your employer.
Should I talk to my boss before resigning?
You may talk to your employers if you feel like it but you are not compelled to. Talking to them may prevent damage to your professional relationship but at the same time, it’s a personal decision.
