Sample Resignation Letters
Use these sample resignation letters as templates for your resignation letter.
Last updated on January 14th, 2019
When an employee wants to leave his or her job, a well-written resignation letter will make the process go more smoothly. It is always a good idea to maintain a good relationship with an employer even if the employee is moving on to another job or staying at home with their children. A previous employer could be asked to write a letter of recommendation, so it makes sense to be as professional as possible when resigning. The letter will also provide official notice that the employee is resigning.
Unless it is otherwise stipulated by company rules, an employee should give notice of resignation at least two weeks in advance of the time they plan to leave. They should give the date of departure. However, there are many ways and reasons for resigning including giving no notice, short notice, extended notice or for retirement. Even if the employee has spoken face-to-face with their employer about their resignation, they still need to send a formal letter.

Even if the employee has spoken face-to-face with their employer about their resignation, they still need to send a formal letter.
The tone of the letter should be pleasant and friendly even if the employee is angry about leaving or doesn’t like their employer. Sounding ungrateful, complaining or criticizing the employer, another employee or the company is not professional. A copy of this letter will most likely go in the file of the resigning employee, so it should leave a good parting impression. The letter should be written in formal business-style. This is an opportunity to maintain a good relationship with your employer and leave on a positive note.
If the employee is leaving on good terms with their employer, they can give more information about why they are resigning. If the employee hates the job and just wants out, it is recommended that they wait to resign until they have another job offer in writing. It is also acceptable to write two or three lines just stating the facts which are:
• I am resigning
• This letter is my two-week notice
• My last working day is DATE
• Thank you for the experience of working for your company
The most common type of letter should state that the employee will:
• Work their full notice period
• Help with training a new employee
• Finish on-going projects

It may not be possible to work the full time required by a contract before resigning because of health reason, an emergency in the family or a new job that won’t wait. Some companies require several months’ notice, so a new employee can be trained. The reasons for leaving early should be clearly stated in the letter.
The main reasons people resign from a job are:
• They found a better job or higher position
• They need to accompany their spouse to another location
• They are starting their own business
• They are becoming a freelancer
• They want to stay at home with their children
Here are samples of a resignation letter. They should be sent by certified mail, so the employee has proof of the time and date the letter was sent and received.
NOTE: If the letter is being sent via Email the subject line should have your full name followed by Resignation. The body may be shorter than a hard copy with just the facts, including the final date of work, the reason for the resignation and the offer of help if there is anything you can do to make the transition easier. End the email with Best regards, your first and last name and your phone number.

Sample Resignation Letter for Family Reasons
Use this sample resignation letter for family reasons as a template for your resignation letter.
If you are required to resign from your job because you are needed at home to take care of a family member who is ill or other family issues, it is important to tell your employer the reason. This removes any doubt that you are resigning because of any issues at work or with a supervisor.
This may also leave the door open in case you are able to rejoin the company. Even if you never go back, leaving a positive message is always good especially if you require a reference later. However, just because you have an issue at home that needs your full attention doesn’t mean you need to tell all the details in your resignation letter. Stating family reasons or personal reasons should make it clear why you are leaving.
It is wise to check your unused vacation time, sick leave and any other benefits that are owed to you once you are ready to tell your manager you plan to resign.
There are many possible reasons a person needs to devote time to his or her family even if it means quitting his or her job. Some of the most common reasons are:
• The birth or adoption of a child
• A family member needs round-the-clock care because of a severe illness
• A family member has died and there is no one to fulfil their responsibilities
• A family member in a different part of the country needs regular care
• A partner is pregnant and requires constant bed-rest
• Issues that arise because of a family member’s active military duty
If you would rather not resign, but need to care for a child or other family member, you may ask your employer if you can take advantage or the Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA). This was enacted in 1993 and allows you to take unpaid leave for certain family emergencies. Your employer may not need to adhere to FMLA and you may not be eligible, but it is worth finding out before you send your resignation letter.
To qualify, the company must have 50 or more employees and you must have worked for them at least 1,250 hours in a one-year period. If these conditions are met, you may get 12 unpaid workweeks and other benefits for the same reasons stated above. FMLA applies to fathers, mothers and same-sex spouses.
It is good business practice to tell your direct supervisor or manager personally that you plan to resign for family reasons. Along with the reasons for resigning, it is important to convey the following information:
• An expression of appreciation of working at the company
• Appreciation for the experiences you had and how much you have learned
• Appreciation for the help and support from colleagues and management
• The date of your last day of work - Most companies require two weeks’ notice before leaving work. You should find out what your contract says, but you can give notice further in advance if it will help with the transition. Don’t underestimate the importance of giving your company time to look for a replacement for you and possibly have you still there to train him or her.
• Contact information in case you can be of help to your replacement employee
• If is it appropriate, you may request a transfer within the company to a different state or department to make your family obligations easier to handle
• You may ask that you be considered to return to your job or an equivalent one when the family emergency is resolved.
• Once you give your resignation letter, you should be ready to leave immediately if requested to do so.
Here is a sample resignation letter for family reasons. This is a hard copy letter that can be sent through regular post or delivered by hand to the HR department or proper supervisor. If it is sent by post, it should be sent registered with a return received request.

Sample Resignation Letter Due to Health Issues
Use this sample resignation letter due to health issues as a template for your resignation letter.
The first step is realizing that you may not need to mention your health as the reason for leaving at all. However, if you’ve had a decrease in productivity or an increase in missed days in the months prior to your resignation, it is a good idea to explain the reason for this trend in your letter so that you can preserve a great recommendation for the future.
The level of health information that you disclose should be balanced between an acceptable explanation and your confidentiality, since more likely multiple people will be reading your letter. It is a good idea to provide further information to your boss in person if you are on good terms with them.
The second step is deciding when to turn your resignation letter in. Giving two weeks of notice is a common courtesy followed by many employees, but is not actually a law since most companies in the US follow an at-will policy. Therefore, a good reason to avoid giving your employer a warning is if you have noticed a trend of negative reactions to other resignations in your workplace or if the state of your health requires you to resign immediately.
There are exceptions to this. If your employee contract includes a clause that requires you to warn the company of your resignation a specific amount of days ahead, your company is legally obligated to pay you for that period. Also, if your employee benefits are negatively affected by your immediate resignation, it is a good idea to give advance notice.
The next step is deciding the format to use for your letter. Both email and business mail are considered acceptable, so choose the format that you are most comfortable with. It is important to note that for immediate resignations, email is the easier and faster option.
The format for and email letter of resignation is as follows:
Subject: [Your Full Name]-Resignation Notice
Salutations,
Paragraph 1: Contains a full statement outlining your intent to resign and when.
Paragraph 2: Used to provide a brief explanation for your resignation.
Paragraph 3: Any closing statement you wish to make, plus a thank you to the company.
Sincerely, [Your Full Name]
[Electronic Signature]
[Email]
[Phone Number]
The format or a physical letter of resignation is:
[Your Name]
[Your Full Address]
[Your Phone Number]
[Your Email]
[Date]
[Company Name]
[Title of Addressee]
[Organization]
[Full Company Address]
[Salutations]
Paragraph 1: Statement of resignation and when
Paragraph 2: Explanation for resignation
Paragraph 3: Closing statement and a thank you.
Sincerely,
[Your Signature]
[Your Full Name]
[Your Job Title]
In both email and business letter form, using “To whom it may concern” is acceptable in lieu of a salutation when the name of addressee is not known, or when you are mailing the letter to a department within the company instead of a specific person. Additionally, it is convention to use 12 pt. Times New Roman/Century font with single space, only using double space between paragraphs. The following is an example of the three paragraphs included in the main body of either an email or business mail resignation letter;
Sample Resignation Letter Due to Health Issues:
[Salutations]
It is with great regret that I must inform you that in two weeks’ time I am resigning from the position of Art Department Director. I understand that my departure will cause a disruption, and I will do everything in my power to facilitate the smooth transition of duties to my replacement.
My decision to resign is not due to any shortcomings from this company, but to a recent diagnosis of a severe health problem. I was advised by my physician to cease working as soon as possible. With much consideration, I must agree with my doctor’s recommendation, because I cannot function at the typical level that I have no doubt you have come to expect, and focus on my health at the same time.
While working here, the support and encouragement I have received and the connections I have made, both professional and personal, have been invaluable. I will miss the challenging nature of my work and the enjoyable atmosphere and coworkers. I will always be grateful.
Note: The key things to focus on when resigning due to poor health are whether your relationship with your boss and coworkers warrants an explanation for your resignation, when to turn in your letter to maximize benefits and pay, and how to format the letter itself.

Sample Resignation Letter for Teacher
Use this sample resignation letter for teacher as a template for your resignation letter.
Resigning from any job is a serious decision to make and shouldn’t be based on emotion, especially for a teaching position. It’s important to write a teacher resignation letter that is dignified and professional. A teacher may resign for several reasons such as moving to another city or state, finding a non-teaching job, or to stay at home with young children.
Whatever the reason, the way in which a person resigns from one job may have an effect on the next job. If a teacher resigns in a fit of anger, it will reflect badly on their character, which can be extremely harmful if they ever want another teaching job.
Writing a professional resignation letter shows respect to the institution as well as the principal and the teacher’s co-workers. The teacher resignation letter should contain the reason for the resignation as well as any other information the teacher would like the principal and others at the institution to know.
Before writing the letter, the teacher should read his or her contract to see if there are any rules and regulations pertaining to resignations. The teacher should follow all the rules, so the institution has no legal claim on them.
The letter should be addressed to the correct person. This may be the principal or a human resources administrator. It is also recommended to send copies to other people such as the head of the school board or anyone involved in hiring. The letter should clearly state the date of resignation.
The purpose of the letter should be stated in the first sentence. This shows respect for the time of the person receiving the letter. They don’t need to read the whole letter to find out its purpose. If the reason for resigning is because the teacher has another teaching job, is leaving the city or state, or is in poor health and cannon continue teaching, it should be mentioned.
If the reason for resigning is because the teacher is dissatisfied, it should not be mentioned in the letter. If the teacher has any complaint to make, it should be done separately and not along with his or her resignation.
The letter should also contain any information related to the contribution the teacher has made to the institution as well as information about personal growth. For example, the teacher can state that a particular teacher acted as a mentor and help the teacher grow in his or her subject area or in the area of teaching. The teacher can also mention if he or she was responsible for the school receiving any awards such as a district sports award or fine arts award.
It is important for the teacher to express gratitude for teaching at the institution and that he or she would like to maintain their professional relationship with the school. If it is suitable or possible, the teacher can mention that he or she would be available to help with special projects or other things if they are in the same city or their health and time permits.
Some important tips to help a teacher leave behind good feelings when they resign from an institution are:
• They should not complain to coworkers about the job
• They should not brag about a new job
• They should offer to help anyone after resigning if feasible
• They should ask for a reference if needed to get a new job
• They should give notice as early as possible
• They should say goodbye on the last day of work
• They should remove any personal files from their computer
Here is a sample teacher resignation letter. It is recommended to send it by certified mail, so the teacher is sure it was received. Copies can be made and sent to other administrators or board members if suitable. The teacher should keep a copy for his or her files.

This wasn’t an easy decision, because I am grateful for the rewarding employment I’ve had with [company name]. But after long hours of consideration, I realize an offer to serve as corporate accountant of a Fortune 500 company is too great of an opportunity to decline.
I would like to help with the transition of my accounting and finance responsibilities so that systems continue to function smoothly after my departure. I am available to help train my replacement, and I will make certain that all accounting and finance reports are updated before my departure.
Sincerely,

Dear Superintendent:
I am writing to inform the school that I will be leaving my position. Unfortunately, my health is deteriorating and I feel it would be in my best interests to resign from my position as teacher assistant.
I have enjoyed teaching at the school. It has been both a rewarding and memorable experience. I have always given students 100% of my knowledge and attention to help them to excel in their educations.
In this career, I have also learned much about myself. I realized that I made a great choice when I became a teacher assistant and an even better choice when I accepted the position at this school.
With great dismay, I must give my resignation letter and with much respect, I have appreciated the opportunity that was given to me. Hopefully, I will be replaced by someone with the same passion for knowledge and teaching that I had.
Best regards,
