How to Write a Resignation Letter: Format, Examples, Template

| Resumes

Whether you love or hate your present job, leaving for a better opportunity doesn’t necessarily mean pulling a silent exit. Stepping down is a big deal, and how you do it matters.

While we would all love to do a ‘Bridget Jones’ type resignation at least once in our lives, in reality, there is no need to flounce out on a dramatic note. You don’t want to close any doors permanently, and certainly not completely close them with bolts, chains, and padlocks. It’s always best to part with your former employer on good terms, and that starts with writing a resignation letter.

Standard Resignation Letter Format

Just like other workplace coms, a job resignation letter should be concise, respectful, and well-structured.

The standard format is:

Header with your name, position, and contact details (if you’re filing a physical letter)
Recipient’s name, title, and company
Statement of resignation and final working day
A quick ‘thank you’ note
Professional sign-off

Legally, you don’t have to explain your reasons for leaving.…
