>> Writing a Resignation Letter

Here’s a basic outline for writing a resignation letter:

• Address your letter directly to your immediate manager or supervisor.
  


• The first paragraph should clearly mention your intention of resigning as well as your date of leaving (keeping in mind the required notice period).
  


• You can mention your reasons for leaving in the next paragraph. Note: You are allowed to cite reasons such as furthering your education or seeking newer opportunities but under NO circumstances should you make negative statements about your work, colleagues, supervisors etc.
  


• This paragraph should be followed by some words of appreciation towards the employer/company. You can briefly mention how your association with the company has positively benefited you.
  


• End the letter by thanking your boss for giving you the opportunity to serve in the organization and wishing them all the success for the future.
  


• Check your letter for grammar and spelling mistakes. Sign it and, lastly, always remember to keep a copy of your resignation letter for your own records.
