Write your resignation letter without burning bridges.
Say who you are writing to, your last day and how you want to leave things. You get a short, professional letter that thanks your employer, states your last day and offers a handover.
How it works
- Enter your job, the company and your manager's name.
- Pick the type of notice and enter your last day.
- Add a reason only if you want to give one. You do not have to.
- Get a short letter you can paste into an email or print.
Questions people ask
Do I have to give a reason?
No. Saying you have accepted another opportunity, or nothing at all, is fine. Keep it short and positive.
How much notice should I give?
Check your contract and your local rules. Two weeks is common in some countries, while others require a month or more.
Should I resign by email or in person?
Tell your manager in person or by call first when you can, then send the letter so there is a written record.
