resignation letters

Formal departure announcements

Resignation letters are formal written notices that employees give to employers when leaving a job.

The letter typically states the intention to resign, the last working day, and sometimes a brief reason or expression of gratitude.

Though email has largely replaced paper, the convention of a signed letter persists: HR asked for my resignation letter in writing.

The tone ranges from perfunctory to diplomatic, depending on whether you're burning bridges or building references.
