Resignation Letter Template

Lots of IT guys love to switch jobs for the heck of better ‘package’. I’ve observed, the first time resigners :mrgreen: find it incredibly difficult to write resignation letter. In order to help those poor souls, I’ve come up with a resignation letter template. All you have to do is replace the brackets <> with appropriate content.

To: <yourboss@company.com>

Email Subject: Letter of resignation

R/Sir,

Please accept this email as a notification that I wish to resign from the position of <blah> with <company> effective from <date>.

This was not an easy decision to make. Past <duration> have been very rewarding. I enjoyed working for you and being a part of a [or managing a] very successful team.  I do hope our paths cross again in the future.

Sincerely,
<you>

-The Big K-     <- Do not copy this line, idiot! :mrgreen:

    I never wrote a resig letter during my first switch and so thought of writing one when decided to conclude my small stint at second organization.. It looked something like this,

    Hi /,

    I am writing to you today to officially tender my resignation from the post of at , effective .

    I have decided that it is time to move on as I have accepted a position elsewhere. This was not an easy decision and took a lot of consideration. However, I am confident that my new role will help me move towards my goals and will fuel my career aspirations.

    Please be assured that I will do all I can to assist in smooth transfer of my responsibilities before leaving. I wish both of you and every good fortune and I would like to thank you for having me as part of the great team.

    Thanks once again.

    Regards,
