Resignation Letter Template

Before you send it

  • Keep it to one page and one genuine thank-you. The exit interview is the place for feedback; the letter is a record.
  • State the final day explicitly. It starts the notice clock and prevents 'we thought you meant...' conversations.
  • Never list grievances in writing, even polite ones. This letter lives in your HR file forever and future references read it.
  • Hand it over in person or on a call where possible; the letter follows as the paper trail.
