Resignation Letter
A concise record of your decision to leave and your proposed last working day. Keep it professional and check any contract, workplace policy, or other applicable requirements before choosing the date.
Revised October 11, 2026 · Fictional examples · English / Arabic
A drafting aid, not a verified record or guaranteed form. Check the facts, your authority, and the recipient’s requirements before sending.
Before you begin
- Confirm the manager’s name and your job title.
- Use an exact last working date.
- Decide whether to offer a specific handover task.
MAKE THE WORDING WORK
Make the working date explicit
Use a full calendar date rather than “two weeks from now.” Check the date against your contract or workplace process. The builder calls it a proposed last working day; it does not calculate a legally required notice period.
Keep the purpose narrow
A resignation records the decision to leave and makes handover easier. The reason field is optional and can be left blank. A grievance, compensation dispute, or request for records may need separate correspondence rather than a long explanation here.
TOO VAGUE
I will leave soon.
MORE USEFUL
My proposed last working day is October 30, 2026. Please advise on the handover arrangements.
The date and handover request give the reader something concrete to confirm.
How to adapt the resignation letter to your departure
- Address the manager or HR contact who handles resignations. Put the date you send the letter at the top; it is different from your last working date.
- State your job title and a precise proposed last working day. If you intend to give two weeks’ notice, check your dates and applicable workplace arrangements rather than relying on a prefilled date.
- Offer a specific handover task if useful, such as documenting an open project. Keep a complaint or pay dispute in separate correspondence so the resignation is easy to acknowledge.
- Review the generated text, send it through the agreed channel, and keep the final copy and acknowledgment.

Questions about this template
Can I use this as a two weeks’ notice letter?
Yes. Enter the date you intend to leave and check that it matches your proposed notice. The builder does not calculate a required notice period or decide which employment rules apply.
Do I have to include my reason for leaving?
The reason field is optional. A short letter can state the resignation and proposed final day without explaining a new job, health matter, or personal situation.
Can I download the resignation letter as PDF?
