If you have made the decision to leave your current job, you have to let your employer and your team know. 

WHAT IS A RESIGNATION LETTER?

A letter of resignation is formality that Human Resources would like to keep on file. You’ll be stating in writing that you’ll be resigning from your current position. It will go on record at the company, which serves as a permanent document that you are choosing to voluntarily leave your employment. And it may facilitate things in case you decide to return to the organization in the future.

HOW TO WRITE A RESIGNATION LETTER

  1. In order to do it like a professional, it is recommended that you write a letter of resignation that is short and to the point. It is not necessary that you go into detail about why you're quitting your job or what you'll be doing next.
  2. Indicate your last day of work, usually two weeks after the date of the letter or it could be longer if your company requires more notice.
  3. Even if your not leaving on good terms, try to find something nice to say. Express gratitude and appreciation for the time and opportunity you have been given.
  4. Don’t forget to include your contact information in case they need to get in touch with you with any questions that arise after you leave.
  5. When you work in the same building as the recipient of the letter of resignation, the best practice is to hand-deliver it. If not, you’ll have to mail it or send it via email.
  6. Keep a copy of the letter for your records, you never know if you may need it later.
