Simple Resignation Letter
A simple resignation letter has four parts and nothing else: that you are resigning, from what, when your last day is, and thanks. It is the right choice for most people most of the time.
Simple is not curt. One sentence of thanks keeps it human.
Sample letter
Subject: Resignation — Amit Patel
[Date] Dear Ms. Iyer, Please accept this letter as notice of my resignation from my position as Warehouse Supervisor at Delta Logistics. My last working day will be Friday, 16 October 2026, in line with my 30-day notice period. Thank you for the opportunities I have had here. During the notice period I will ensure a complete handover of my responsibilities and will document all ongoing work. Please let me know how you would like the transition planned, and kindly confirm my last working day and the relieving formalities in writing. Thank you for the support during my tenure. I wish the company and the team continued success. Sincerely, Amit Patel Warehouse Supervisor
Names, companies and dates are illustrative. Replace the bracketed date with the day you send it.
What to get right
- Four sentences is enough; nobody has ever been penalised for a resignation letter being too short.
- The date must be a full date, not "in 30 days".
- Keep the subject line equally plain: "Resignation — Your Name".
