You may download, personalize and otherwise modify this free resignation
letter template for personal use or just use it as an example to
write one of your own from scratch. It's an RTF file, which is
compatible with most word processors (such as Microsoft® Word)
and safe to download.
But first, please read the Important notice
below. It includes the download link.
Although this resignation letter template adheres to "standards" on
the Web, it's not set in concrete. It's just to give you ideas
about what to write in yours, while providing the format to make
it easier for you.
Because of differences in the way that Web browsers and word processors
display pages, the format of the resignation letter template displayed
below differs slightly from the download version.
If you copy and paste this resignation letter template from your
screen instead of downloading it, the format might not stay intact.
The resignation letter template format is in full-block, business-letter
style. But when emailing your resignation letter, it doesn't necessarily
need to be quite as formally formatted.
For example, you could delete the letterhead, date and recipient's
address if you want, because an email will automatically include
informal equivalents. It's a good idea to keep at least the salutation
(Dear...) and complimentary close (Sincerely...),
but you can change them to your preference.

Dear [Recipient's name]:
[When modifying this resignation letter template, start
by writing what it is that you're resigning (such as your
job title) and the date that you anticipate will be your
last day of work.]
[Optional: Include additional information here, such as
what you're willing to do to make your resignation smoother
for your employer. But, avoid making promises you can't keep.]
[Optional: Wrap it up by saying thank you in some way, such
as for the opportunities that the recipient or the company
provided.]
[Note: If you go over three paragraphs of just a few sentences
each, reconsider what you've written. Resist blowing off
steam in your resignation letter or using it as a soapbox
on which to stand for criticizing the company. Remember,
your employer will likely file your resignation letter as
potential evidence, in case you later bring legal action
against the employer. So, it's a good idea to keep it simple.]
Sincerely,
