A resignation letter is a formal way to exit your role without burning bridges. Even in a digital environment, sending a clear, respectful message makes a lasting difference.

Purpose

This letter becomes part of your employment record. It confirms the date of departure and communicates your decision clearly and professionally.

Key elements

Include the following:

  • date of writing
  • statement of resignation
  • last working day
  • short thank-you (optional)
  • your signature

Keep it concise and neutral. There’s no need to explain your reasons in detail.

Submission

Submit the letter at least two weeks in advance. You can deliver it in person, by email, or with an electronic signature, especially for remote teams.

Digital formats are now standard across many workplaces.

Format

A basic layout:

  1. Greeting
  2. Resignation statement
  3. Final working date
  4. Appreciation
  5. Signature

Stay respectful — even if the situation is complex.
