When to send a resignation letter

Send once you have decided to leave and need a dated record of notice, last day, and handover. Verbal notice is easy to dispute later; a short letter is the record.

What to include

Your role and company

Say the job title and employer so there is no doubt which role you are leaving.

The date you are giving notice

A dated letter is the proof of when notice started.

Your final working day

State the last day clearly, matching your notice period.

A brief handover or thank-you

One line is enough. It keeps the record professional without over-explaining.

Mistakes that weaken the letter

Explaining too much

Long reasons invite debate. Keep the letter to notice, dates, and a clean close.

No last day

If the final working day is missing, the record is incomplete.
