Let\u2019s go over them one by one.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Greeting\"><\/span>Greeting<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Begin your resignation letter by addressing the right person. In most cases, you will be addressing your resignation letter to your direct supervisor, hiring manager or the head of the company. However, in some cases, you may also need to forward your resignation letter to your team, department, or the whole organization. You can use standard business greetings to start your letter. For instance:<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote\" style=\"font-size:17px\"><p><em>Dear John<\/em><\/p><p><em>Dear Mr. Cheng<\/em><\/p><p><em>Hi John<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Purpose\"><\/span>Purpose<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The body of your resignation letter should focus on your intent to leave your current job.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Include your current title, the company you are working for and your planned departure date.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In the next section, provide more detail on your resignation and future plans.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For instance:<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote\" style=\"font-size:17px\"><p><em>I am writing to inform you of my resignation from my current position as Head Developer at KratosTech, effective April 21.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Departure_date\"><\/span>Departure date<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">One of the most important things to include in your resignation letter is your departure date. The standard timeline for resigning for most companies is two weeks. This means that you will need to hand in your notice two weeks before your last working day.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It\u2019s also good practice to include information about how you will handle your current projects. Will you transfer them to someone else? Complete all your assignments before leaving?<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This helps the company prepare for what\u2019s ahead and make sure that your departure doesn\u2019t affect their deadlines and important contracts.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Reason_for_leaving\"><\/span>Reason for leaving<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This is optional but you may also want to include the reason why you are leaving. This may be related to your career goals, family situation, travel plans and more. It\u2019s not necessary to say why you are leaving the company and it\u2019s probably best not to include too many personal details. However, you may quickly touch upon your plans in your letter.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Thank_your_employer_and_team\"><\/span>Thank your employer and team<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A resignation letter is not only a way to inform the company about your leaving. It\u2019s also a great opportunity to thank your employer and team for all the years of working together, their support, help and more.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Plus, thanking your employer and team can see the right tone for the email and help preserve a friendly relationship with the company even after your departure.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Offer_help_with_the_transition_process\"><\/span>Offer help with the transition process<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">At the end of your resignation letter, offer assistance or provide guidance on how you want to handle your current projects and assignments. You may mention that you plan to complete all your current work before you leave your position or you may have arranged for your work to be transferred to other members of your team.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Additionally, if you have any suggestions for who may be able to take over your job, this is a good place to mention this.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Sign-off\"><\/span>Sign-off<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Complete your letter with a standard signature like \u201cSincerely\u201d, \u201cBest wishes\u201d and so on.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_to_avoid_in_your_resignation_letter\"><\/span>What to avoid in your resignation letter<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A resignation letter may seem like your final correspondence with your current employer. However, this letter may still affect your future work and career prospects \u2014 which is why it\u2019s important to take it seriously.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Your employer may keep your resignation letter on file and may refer to it if you ever reach out for a professional reference or any other assistance.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To leave a good impression and make sure your part on friendly terms, avoid the following:<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Don\u2019t be too critical of the company, its management and your experience working with them.<\/span><\/li><li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Don\u2019t use the resignation letter as a chance to vent about the difficulties you\u2019ve faced in the job, bad relationships with colleagues and more.<\/span><\/li><li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you are writing a resignation letter for personal reasons, don\u2019t go into too much detail. It\u2019s also best not to include too much information about your future plans in the new workplace.<\/span><\/li><li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Keep your letter short: up to a page long. There is no need to make the letter too abstract or too emotional. If there are personal things you want to discuss with your team, it\u2019s best to do that in person.<\/span><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/resumekit.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/resignation-letter_-300x145.png\" alt=\"resignation letter\" class=\"wp-image-671\" width=\"800\" height=\"387\" srcset=\"https:\/\/resumekit.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/resignation-letter_-300x145.png 300w, https:\/\/resumekit.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/resignation-letter_-50x24.png 50w, https:\/\/resumekit.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/resignation-letter_.png 704w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Two_weeks_notice_vs_resignation_letter\"><\/span>Two weeks\u2019 notice vs resignation letter<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In essence, there is no difference between a two weeks\u2019 notice letter and a resignation letter.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A two weeks\u2019 notice informs the company that you will be leaving on a specific date \u2014 typically, within two weeks from your letter of resignation.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Learn more about<\/span> <a href=\"https:\/\/resumekit.com\/blog\/two-weeks-notice-letter\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">how to write a two weeks\u2019 notice letter<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A resignation letter, on the other hand, describes a more general intent to leave the company and you may mention any date that doesn\u2019t break the terms of your work contract.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Summing_things_up\"><\/span>Summing things up<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So, here\u2019s what to remember when writing your letter of resignation:<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Make sure to send your resignation letter ahead of time to give your employer enough time to prepare for your departure.
