Resignation Letter Template
A short, professional resignation letter covering notice period, final working day and a courteous close. Suitable for any role or industry.
Use this template when you are resigning from a job and wish to give written notice. Most employment contracts require written notice. Sending a letter by post (as well as email) creates a clear record with a verifiable delivery date.
Is a resignation letter legally required in the UK?
Most employment contracts require written notice of resignation, and a posted letter creates a verifiable delivery date - useful if there is ever a dispute about when your notice period started.
Can I resign with immediate effect?
Only if your contract allows it or your employer agrees. Otherwise you are contractually bound to work your full notice period, and resigning without notice can be treated as a breach of contract.
