Resignation letter

[Date]

Dear Anil Kumar,

I am writing to formally resign from my position as Senior Software Engineer at Infosys. As per my notice period of 30 days, my last working day will be [last working day]. I have accepted an opportunity that aligns closely with my long-term career goals, and this was not an easy decision to make.

During the notice period, I will do everything I can to ensure a complete and smooth handover of my responsibilities. Please let me know how you would like me to plan the transition, and kindly confirm my last working day and the relieving formalities in writing.

Thank you for the support during my tenure. I wish Infosys and the team continued success.

Sincerely,
Priya Sharma

Tip: hand your resignation over in person if you can, or email it to HR and your manager together — and always get your last-working-day confirmation in writing.

Resignation letter questions

Four things: that you are resigning, the position, your last working day as a full date, and your name. A line of thanks and an offer to hand over are courteous. A reason is optional.
