Resignation Letter Generator

Fill in a few details and get a short, professional resignation letter or email. In HR, I processed hundreds of resignations. The best ones were brief: a clear statement, a last working day, an offer to help with the handover, and nothing that could be used against the person later.

What HR wishes you knew before resigning

Tell your manager in person or on a call first, then send the letter the same day. The written version is what HR files and uses to set your last day.
State an exact last working day. "Two weeks from now" creates confusion about final pay, benefits end dates and PTO payout.
Keep reasons short or leave them out. Complaints belong in an exit interview, if anywhere — the letter stays in your file permanently.
Before you resign, check your offer is signed, your background check has cleared, and you know whether unused PTO is paid out in your state or country.
Expect a counteroffer conversation. Decide in advance whether any number would change your mind.
