Questions about resignation letters
- How do I write a resignation letter?
- Say that you are resigning, from which position and company, and give your last working day as a date. Add one sentence of thanks and what you will hand over. Keep it short and leave complaints out.
- How much notice should I give?
- What your contract asks for. In the United States two weeks is the custom; elsewhere a month or more is common. Check the contract before you write the date.
- Should I resign in person or in writing?
- Both: tell your manager in a short conversation, then send the letter or email the same day so the date is on record.
