Create A Letter of Resignation

What to Include in Your Resignation Letter

  • The fact that you are leaving and date when your resignation is effective.
  • Thanks to your employer for the opportunities you have had during your employment.

It's usually better to resign in person, then follow up with a formal resignation letter. However, if you need to send a resignation email, write it as professionally as you would a resignation letter on paper.

Regardless of why you are resigning or how you feel about it, if you mention why you are leaving, make sure that you do not include anything negative or disparaging about the company, your supervisor, your co-workers, or your subordinates.

This letter will be included in your employment file and could be shared with potential future employers; therefore, it should be professional and polite.

Note: Your assignment is to write me an e-mail resignation letter.  I will grade it after I receive it. tmmezzenga@district287.org
