RESIGNATIONLETTER

Ready to

Resign from your job?

What is RESIGNATION LETTERA resignation letter is a short letter formally advising your employer that you are leaving your job.

Why Write a Resignation Letter?A letter of resignation is written to announce to human resources, superiors, and co-workers your intent to leave your current position.

Writing a RESIGNATION LETTERHeading-It ensures that the letter is of a formal nature, and shows respect for whomever the letter is addressed to. The heading format should be:

Your nameYour addressYour city, state, zip codeYour phone number Your e-mail

Date Name of recipientTitleOrganizationAddressCity, State, Zip Code

Greeting

The greeting should always be "Dear Mr./Ms./etc." as that is both formal and appropriate. Furthermore, it acknowledges the actual person without being too comfortable.

Therefore, the salutation is not just an insigificant part of the letter. The individual must correctly address the employer.

BodyThe body of letter should be simple and to the point. Writing a rambling letter about everything that the employee did not like about the company will not look very good. Furthermore, doing so will only incite a sense of awkwardness.

ClosingThe closing is just as important as the rest of the letter, in order to ensure formality throughout. A proper letter should end with "Sincerely." After that, hit the "Enter" or "Return" key on the computer four times. Of course, print the letter, and in that four line space, sign your first and last names.

ConsiderationsThere are a few additional considerations:The letter should be dated at least two weeks before the intended employee plans to resign, unless the company has different requirements.

The letter absolutely must be typed.A letter of resignation is generally the proper way to leave a job. However, there are extreme circumstances and exceptions to every rule. If there is a problem with abuse or harrassment, different measures will need to be taken. Every situation elicits a different response.
