Leaving a job is a stressful situation, so it helps to have a plan or backup plan for the immediate future. Even if you don't use this letter now, you might decide to keep it on hand, with the dates left blank for when the right opportunity presents itself.
Our resignation letter is not long-winded; and it aims to be neutral in tone. This is important in the case that you want to resume a professional relationship with your former employer, or conversely, if you want to take further action against them. An angry or overtly flattering letter would reduce your options.
You will be able to come back to this page and edit your answers, change other details or omit some or all of the information. If you choose not to fill in some information we will print the document with space that will allow you to fill in your own answers.
