Maybe you think you can just talk to your manager and let them know about your plans. Still, even if your company may not require a formal written letter, there are a few good reasons why writing a resignation letter is still important:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Written record:<\/strong> You want to have your intentions and your words in writing so that there\u2019s a record of when you resigned and how you went about it.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Professionalism: <\/strong>Even if you are close with your supervisor, your letter still shows that you are being professional and doing your due diligence with a formal announcement.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Positive note:&nbsp;<\/strong>It\u2019s important to leave your company on a positive note, whether to help you obtain future references or opportunities or just to maintain a positive professional network.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Thank you:<\/strong> A letter also allows you to thank your employer for the time you spent at the company, which helps you leave on a positive note.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>If you so choose, you can also outline your intention to help the company find a replacement for you as you\u2019re preparing to leave. Providing a letter of resignation is a positive step toward starting your new business and ensuring you leave your position in a professional manner.<\/p>\n\n\n\t\t<div data-elementor-type=\"section\" data-elementor-id=\"89403\" class=\"elementor elementor-89403\" data-elementor-post-type=\"elementor_library\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-af8975c e-con-full cta_click e-flex e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"af8975c\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;,&quot;jet_parallax_layout_list&quot;:[]}\">\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-d21be99 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"d21be99\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-settings=\"{&quot;jet_parallax_layout_list&quot;:[]}\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-bbc2a58 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"bbc2a58\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"464\" height=\"401\" src=\"https:\/\/hbb.dev.reliablepenguin.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/cta-contracts-banner-merino-2.png\" class=\"attachment-medium_large size-medium_large wp-image-88394\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/hbb.dev.reliablepenguin.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/cta-contracts-banner-merino-2.png 464w, https:\/\/hbb.dev.reliablepenguin.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/cta-contracts-banner-merino-2-300x259.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 464px) 100vw, 464px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-a747e99 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"a747e99\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-settings=\"{&quot;jet_parallax_layout_list&quot;:[]}\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-d55b379 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"d55b379\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Leave your 9-to-5 with grace.<\/span>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-82f4593 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"82f4593\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We\u2019ve compiled email templates for an easy resignation process.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-771d280 click-resign-templates elementor-widget elementor-widget-button\" data-id=\"771d280\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"button.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-button-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<a class=\"elementor-button elementor-button-link elementor-size-sm\" href=\"#\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-button-content-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-button-text\">Get the templates<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-30c1b67 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"30c1b67\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"416\" height=\"170\" src=\"https:\/\/hbb.dev.reliablepenguin.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/cta-contracts-banner-merino-2-1.png\" class=\"attachment-medium_large size-medium_large wp-image-88395\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/hbb.dev.reliablepenguin.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/cta-contracts-banner-merino-2-1.png 416w, https:\/\/hbb.dev.reliablepenguin.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/cta-contracts-banner-merino-2-1-300x123.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 416px) 100vw, 416px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\n\n\n\n<a id=\"send\"><\/a>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>When to send a resignation letter<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Before you prepare your letter, figure out when it is appropriate to submit it. First, check your company\u2019s policies and procedures. Find your employee handbook if you were provided one when you started. The organization may have a preferred process for resigning, including providing notice within a specific period of time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.themuse.com\/advice\/should-you-ever-give-more-than-two-weeks-notice\">Two weeks\u2019 notice<\/a> is standard in most professional settings. Make sure you don\u2019t send your letter after this window has passed, unless it\u2019s a very special circumstance.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, if you know you\u2019ll be leaving sooner than that, you can also submit your letter earlier than two weeks. This will help the company replace you faster, and you can be more involved in that process, which they will appreciate. This approach also helps you begin your transition and give yourself plenty of time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<a id=\"include\"><\/a>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>What should you include in a resignation letter?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Writing a resignation letter starts with knowing exactly what you want to say and what to include. You don\u2019t need to write your life story or provide too many details. Keep things brief and clear while ensuring you have room to say everything you want to say. Think about what has been most meaningful to you during your time at the company.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Consider these key components when writing your letter:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Date:<\/strong> You want the letter to record the exact date that you wrote it. This helps you show that you gave plenty of notice to the employer and helps HR keep clear records as well.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Greeting:<\/strong> You usually want to write \u201cDear\u201d and then the name of the person you\u2019re writing to. Try to avoid \u201cTo whom it may concern,\u201d which can sound colder. Consider using your manager\u2019s last name to sound formal: for example, \u201cMs. Smith.\u201d<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Resignation intentions:<\/strong> You will want to jump right into your discussion of the purpose of the letter\u2014to notify them of your resignation.&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Last day of work:<\/strong> Always indicate when your last day will be. Be specific so everyone is on the same page with the effective date of resignation.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Thank you: <\/strong>Express your gratitude for what you learned or obtained in the position. You may want to include how you felt about working with your team or manager or something you are particularly grateful for, like a special opportunity.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Salutation:<\/strong> Keep your letter professional by ending things with something like \u201cSincerely\u201d or \u201cBest regards.\u201d<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Signature: <\/strong>Manually sign your name after you print out your letter.&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-ugb-container ugb-container cta-pro-tip ugb-0041221 ugb-container--v2 ugb-container--design-basic ugb-main-block\"><style>.ugb-0041221-wrapper.ugb-container__wrapper{padding-top:0 !important;padding-bottom:0 !important}.ugb-0041221-wrapper > .ugb-container__side{padding-top:35px !important;padding-bottom:35px !important}@media screen and (min-width:768px){.ugb-0041221.ugb-container{padding-top:0px !important}}<\/style><div class=\"ugb-inner-block\"><div class=\"ugb-block-content\"><div class=\"ugb-container__wrapper ugb-0041221-wrapper\"><div class=\"ugb-container__side\"><div class=\"ugb-container__content-wrapper ugb-0041221-content-wrapper\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-ugb-columns ugb-columns ugb-c9eef97 ugb-columns--design-plain ugb-columns--columns-2 ugb-main-block\"><style>.ugb-c9eef97 > .ugb-inner-block > .ugb-block-content > .ugb-columns__item{grid-template-columns:0.20fr 1.80fr !important}<\/style><div class=\"ugb-inner-block\"><div class=\"ugb-block-content\"><div class=\"ugb-columns__item ugb-c9eef97-content-wrapper\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-ugb-column ugb-column ugb-381f79f ugb-column--design-plain ugb-main-block\"><div class=\"ugb-inner-block\"><div class=\"ugb-block-content\"><div class=\"ugb-column__item ugb-381f79f-column-wrapper\"><div class=\"ugb-column__content-wrapper\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hbbadmin.reliablepenguin.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/asset-4.svg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-83436\"\/><\/figure>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-ugb-column ugb-column ugb-97eb796 ugb-column--design-plain ugb-main-block\"><div class=\"ugb-inner-block\"><div class=\"ugb-block-content\"><div class=\"ugb-column__item ugb-97eb796-column-wrapper\"><div class=\"ugb-column__content-wrapper\">\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Pro tip<\/strong> <\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>It is a best practice to type out and print your resignation letter instead of writing it by hand. It is easier to read this way and looks more professional.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<a id=\"faq\"><\/a>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Common resignation FAQs<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How long should your letter be?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Keep your resignation letter concise. It shouldn\u2019t be more than a few paragraphs, and definitely no longer than a page.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If your manager or company have any additional questions, you can always sort those out after. But the resignation letter is simply a formal notification of your final days at the business. It doesn\u2019t need to be overcomplicated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How do you keep things clear and professional?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>By writing a concise letter, you\u2019ll already be keeping things clear and professional. If you have a close relationship with your manager, you can always thank them more in person or via a separate email, but keep your resignation letter focused on the facts and details.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What should your tone be like?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>You can keep your tone professional, but it doesn\u2019t have to sound robotic. If you\u2019re aiming to be concise, the letter should come out more professional than if you were to say everything that\u2019s on your mind. But, you can still write in your own voice.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<a id=\"template\"><\/a>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Resignation letter template<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>It is important to be thoughtful and intentional when you craft your letter. Here is an example so you know the best format to use:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>[Month\/date, year]<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Dear [MANAGER NAME],<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Please accept this letter as my resignation from [COMPANY NAME] as the [POSITION NAME].

I am particularly thankful to have taken on the [PROJECT TITLE] last month, through which I gained valuable experience as a project leader. I have enjoyed working with you and the rest of the team throughout my time at [COMPANY NAME].<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Let me know how best I can assist with the transition before my last day and if you need anything additional from me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sincerely,<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>[SIGNATURE]<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>[PRINTED NAME]<\/p>\n\n\n\n<a id=\"honeybook\"><\/a>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Why you need a business platform like HoneyBook<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Learning how to resign professionally is critical when you\u2019re considering a change.
