4 Sections of a Successful
Resignation Letter
A professional and polite resignation letter will help you leave your position on
the right note. Be sure to include these sections:
1234
The Greeting
Begin by addressing your letter or email to your boss or supervisor. If you are writing a printed letter (recommended), include your name and address, the company name and address, and the date. If writing an email, include a simple subject line such as “Letter of Resignation”.
The Opening
Your opening should be clear and to the point. It must express your intention to resign, list your position and the company name, and most importantly include the date you intend to leave (typically two weeks from the date of the letter).
Our resignation letter template will show you an example of a successful opening section.
The Body
The information you include in this section is largely at your discretion. Depending on the length of your tenure and your relationship with the company, you may wish to briefly explain the reason for your leaving, and/or thank your employer.
Use our resignation letter template to guide you in writing your letter body.
The Closing
In a brief closing section, let your employer know that you’re ready to provide any assistance necessary to ensure a smooth transition. Then, conclude with your name and signature.
Our resignation letter template includes a simple, professional closing that you can easily modify for your needs.
