Resignation Letter Template



resignation letter template, resignation letter format Resignation Letter Template and Format

A resignation letter is one of those letters– either you need to write them, or you don‘t.

And I am not quite sure why, but a lot of people find a resignation letter one of the most difficult to write.

If you are one of those, or you just need to know how to write one, I have created a resignation letter template to help you out.

Here is the basic information included in a resignation letter:

  • Address the letter to your direct superior or manager.


  • Date of Resignation. That is, when is the resignation effective from?


  • Mention the position or designation that you are resigning from.


  • What will be your last day in office?


  • Mention why you are leaving.

    If you are joining another organization or perhaps proceeding on a maternity leave or taking a break for further studies, go ahead and mention it. However, if don‘t want to mention the reason, just leave it out.


  • Keep it polite.


  • You may come back to this organization, or your boss may join the company where you are moving– the possibilities are endless.

    The point is– why leave on a bad note if you can avoid it?–. However, if you are leaving because of an unpleasant reason and you absolutely need to have it out, say it but be dignified.
