RESIGNATION LETTER
No notice period is given
It is normal practice to give an employer a minimum of two weeks notice before leaving a company. It is considered a matter of professional ethics. There are situations, however, when circumstances get beyond your control and necessitate an immediate resignation. The resignation letter shown as an example below can be used on these occasions.
(Manager’s name)
(Company name)
(Company address)
(Company name)
(Company address)
(Today’s date)
Dear (insert manager’s name)
Dear (insert manager’s name)
Please accept this as my resignation to (company), effective immediately. I regret the inconvenience it will cause, but events (or you could use ‘circumstances’) have left me no choice. I will be in contact with Human Resources to make arrangements for my final pay cheque. If problems arise you may contact me on (insert your telephone number) and I will do my best to help.
Yours sincerely,

RESIGNATION LETTER
Resignation Letter - When Circumstances Are Not Satisfactory
The following resignation letter is worded in a way that states a situation in which the employee no longer feels he/she can work in. While it may seem sensible to enlarge to a certain extent on the circumstances outlined, it would not be correct to use a resignation letter for angry ravings.
(Manager’s name)
(Company name)
(Company address)
(Today’s date)
Dear (insert manager’s name)
Dear (insert manager’s name)
It is with great reluctance that I now submit this letter of resignation. Although my period of employment with (company name) has been, on the whole, satisfying and beneficial, for a considerable time now I have become less and less satisfied with my work situation. The new role and its targets I have been assigned, and the methods of achieving them are making it increasingly difficult for me to feel that I am contributing adequately.
Therefore, it is with regret that I ask you to accept my resignation from (company name) effective (last day of work).
Yours sincerely,
