When preparing to resign from your job, you must consider the best way to write your resignation letter. Making the decision to leave your role can be difficult, and the most nerve-wracking part of the process is often telling your current boss that you are moving on to a new role.
Here is a compilation of resignation letter templates to ease the pressure off of you when writing your resignation letter. Below are some examples of resignation letters that you can edit and personalise, where relevant, to your situation.
When writing your resignation letter, be sure to include the current date and the address of your company, following standard letter-writing practices. It is also crucial to remain professional and polite throughout.
Even though you may be leaving due to personal grievances, you should not bring these to light in your resignation letter. You should discuss any further points in the exit interview.
