letter of resignation

Formal departure announcement

A letter of resignation is a formal written notice that you're leaving a job.

It typically states your intention to resign, your last day of work, and sometimes a brief reason or expression of gratitude.

The letter creates a paper trail and is usually addressed to a supervisor or HR department: She handed in her letter of resignation after accepting the new position.
