How To Write A Resignation Letter: Resigning On A Positive Note

By: Mike Lee Home | Writing-and-Speaking


If you’re entertaining thoughts of leaving your current office, you’d better learn how to write a resignation letter the right way. Even if you have one foot already out the door, it is no excuse to submit a shabby letter.

Learning how to write a resignation letter properly gives your boss the impression that you are professional until your last official day, and that you respect the company enough to make the effort.

This good impression could serve you well in the future, especially if you plan to list your current employer as a reference in your resume.

1) Keep it short.

The first thing you have to remember when learning how to write a resignation letter is that your message should be short.

You don’t need to elaborate on the why, when, how and all the other details your employer can’t be bothered with. Simply state that you wish to resign and when it is effective.

2) Keep it sweet.

Even if you have a lot of complaints and issues with the company, it is wise to keep your resignation letter positive. You don’t exactly want your next employer discovering your resignation letter full of hate and resentment now, do you?

Bear in mind that resignation letters are attached to your employment file. These documents do have the habit of turning up when you least want them to.

3) Thank your employer.

When writing a resignation letter, you must not forget to thank your employer or the company for giving you the opportunity to improve your skills or discover new things about yourself.

Putting all these things in your letter can help make the huge change easier for both you and the company. It’s easy to know how to write a resignation letter; just remember to keep it direct to the point, positive and grateful.
