Letter of Resignation
Your letter of resignation acts as a legal document
informing your employer of the
date you wish to leave your job. Here’s some advice on what
it should contain:
- The name and position of the person to whom you have
addressed it.
- The fact it is a notice of termination of employment.
- The date from which you want your notice period to
begin.
- Your signature.
- Add in a sentence expressing your regret and thanking
your employer for the opportunities
you were given during your employment – if you’re
leaving under amicable terms.
- If you’re leaving under bad circumstances relating to
your working conditions or
issues with colleagues, be wary of including details.
Don’t go into detail, if there’s
no need to.
