A resignation letter is short, but it goes in your file and shapes your last impression. Enter your role and last day, choose whether to share a reason, and get a clear, gracious letter plus a subject line and what to say in person first.
What to include
Your intention to resign, your last working day, a brief thank-you and an offer to help with the transition. That's it. A reason is optional, and complaints belong in an exit interview, if anywhere.
Tell your manager first
Ideally, have a short conversation with your manager, then send the letter the same day. Each result includes a three-sentence version to say in person so the moment is easier.
Two weeks' notice and beyond
Two weeks is the US norm, and some senior roles or contracts expect more. If you need to leave sooner, the letter acknowledges it politely. Starting a new job? Plan your first months with the Employee Onboarding Plan Generator.
