Acme Inc.
Dear Jamie Lee,
Please accept this letter as formal notice of my resignation from my position as Marketing Manager at Acme Inc.. My last day of work will be November 13, 2026. This serves as my two weeks’ notice.
Thank you for the opportunity to work at Acme Inc.. I appreciate the support and experience I have gained during my time here.
During my remaining time, I will do everything I can to ensure a smooth transition, including wrapping up current projects and documenting my work.
I wish you and the team continued success.
Sincerely,
Alex Morgan
Tips for your two weeks notice letter
- Count 14 calendar days from the day you hand it in, then check whether that lands on a weekend or holiday.
- Say "two weeks’ notice" explicitly in the letter so HR logs it correctly.
- Offer a handover plan: list open projects and where files live.
- Some employers walk you out the same day. Plan for that financially if you can.
What to avoid
- Giving notice by text unless that is how your team normally communicates
- Promising work you cannot finish in two weeks
- Taking unused vacation without asking
