About Resignation Letters
A resignation letter is a short document with an outsized effect on the rest of your career. The hiring market is small in every industry, and the colleagues who read your last letter often turn up later as references, customers, or future managers. The job of a resignation letter is therefore not to vent or to negotiate — it is to put your departure on the record cleanly, name a final day, and leave the relationship intact. Every template in this category is written with that goal in mind: brief, professional, and warm enough that the reader closes the letter without losing respect for you. Save your real feelings for a private conversation; the letter exists to make the transition logistically easy for both sides.
