Resignation Letters - Writing a Resignation Letter

How you write a resignation letter is important, because it usually isn't easy to resign and stay on good terms with the company you are leaving. Even if you hate your job and can't wait to start your new job, it can be difficult to resign diplomatically and tactfully. Well-written resignation letters can help ensure your resignation goes smoothly.

Why Write a Resignation Letter

A resignation letter can help you maintain positive relationship with your old employer, while paving the way for you to move on. You never know when you might need that previous employer to give you a reference, so it makes sense to take the time to write polished and professional resignation letters. Your resignation letter also provides official notice that you're leaving to your employer.
