How do you write a resignation letter for a job?

Answer 1

A letter of resignation must be thought out carefully and you want to be sure that; You do not breach your employment contract by giving to short notice. You must state when you are going to leave, you do not need to state the reasons why you are leaving. If your reason is not relayed to moving to another job, try to speak to someone about any problems before you put such a letter to your employer. They normally are worded like this example:

Dear Sir,

After careful thought I have to give you (insert contractual notice period here) a weeks notice that I intend to leave my employment with your company on (insert date of your last working day).

I have enjoyed being employed by your company but regret I have to move on.

I would be grateful if you can let payroll k ow in order that my leaving documents and final pay can be settled (including holiday pay if due).

You will be aware I have been an employee for (insert length of service) and been an employee without incident. I would therefore be grateful if you have no objection, with providing me with an employment reference for the future.

I would be further grateful if you can acknowledge receipt of this notice.

Yours faithfully;

(just alter to suit your needs but the above basic notice should suffice).
