A resignation letter is a short, formal record that you are leaving and when — and because it lives in your file and often shapes your final reference, the smart move is to keep it gracious no matter how you feel. This builder produces exactly that: a clear statement of your departure, your notice period and last working day, optional reason and thanks, and an offer to help with the handover.
How it works
You enter your name, position, company, and optionally your manager, then choose a notice period (1 to 8 weeks) and state your last working day. The builder writes a formal opening that gives notice and names that final date, so there is no ambiguity about timing. You can add a brief reason for leaving and a personal gratitude note (or accept a professional default), and a toggle decides whether to include a transition offer to train a replacement and document your responsibilities. The result is a complete, properly structured letter — notice, gratitude, handover, well-wishes, and sign-off. Any blank required field becomes a bracketed prompt.
Tips and notes
Check your employment contract first: the legally required notice period overrides any default, and giving less can have consequences. Keep the reason short and positive if you include one at all — a resignation letter is a permanent document and the wrong place for complaints. Only offer transition help you can actually deliver in the time you have. State the exact last working day rather than just “two weeks” so payroll and HR are aligned. Replace every [bracketed] prompt before sending, deliver the letter to both your manager and HR, and remember the whole thing is assembled locally in your browser.
