Tips for your resignation letter

Keep it short. A resignation letter is a record, not a negotiation or a place to air grievances.
State your last day clearly. Two weeks is the common US norm, but check your contract or handbook first.
You do not have to explain why you are leaving. A neutral thank-you is enough.
Deliver it to your manager in person or by video call first, then send the letter or email so HR has it in writing.

What to avoid

Criticizing your manager, team or company
Mentioning your new salary
Burying the last day in the middle of a paragraph

Frequently asked questions

What should a resignation letter include?

Your intent to resign, your job title, your last day of work, a short thank-you, and an offer to help with the handover. Keep it to a few short paragraphs.

Do I have to give a reason for resigning?

No. In most cases you can simply state that you are resigning and thank your employer. If you do give a reason, keep it brief and positive.

Should I send a resignation letter or an email?

Either works for most workplaces. Tell your manager in person first, then send a letter or email as the written record. Switch the format above to generate either.

How much notice should I give?

Two weeks is the usual courtesy in the US, but your contract, handbook or local law may require more or less. Use our two weeks notice calculator to find your exact last day.
