How to Write a Resignation Email

Tips For Writing Resignation Email

1) Two Weeks Notice Letter/Mail

Two weeks notice letter is much similar to a resignation letter/mail. This will be your first step towards resignation. Here you intimate your concerning authority about your plan of resigning from the firm two weeks earlier. So even a recruiter can arrange for another capable person to continue the work. This is the formal way to contacting your decision of resignation.

2) The Name of Your Job Position

Mentioning the name of the position of your work can specify more things to the reader, as they can know which space is vacant so they can hire a new employee to handle that position.

3) Date of When You are Resigning

As mentioned the date of drafting, even the date of your day of resignation is also important, as it will help the H.R and manager to keep the track record of the leaving date of their employees.

4) Gratitude Towards Your Recruiter

As you have worked in an organization it’s a simple but very effective way to express gratitude to your recruiter or manager that they gave you the chance to work and gain experience. This shows that you are happy leaving the organization and looking towards better things.

5) A Highlight of Your Work Span

Though adding this point is completely optional, it’s up to you whether you have to mention it or not. Adding the highlight of your work span can give a quick glimpse of your contribution to the manager.

6) Offer Training to The Replacement

 When you free up space there will be someone else who will take up the charge and in some scenarios that person can be fresher or new to that work. So your offer to train that trainee can give a gesture to your decision. It will show that even if you are leaving the firm you still have affection towards your firm and job.

7) Greetings and Wishes For The Future of Your Company

As of now, you have been a potential employee for your organization so even now when you have to leave you have to be formal and ethical to maintain your value. Greetings and wishing your organization great success ahead will depict that you still respect your organization and you will be optimistic towards it.

8) No Need to Give All Details

You don’t need to go into deep details of the reason why you are leaving or about your plans after the resignation, but still, if you want to then you can keep it minimalist like you are leaving because of some family circumstances, or moving to some other career, etc.

9) Thanking Them

Thank your HR department and manager for giving you the opportunity and to express your skills, tell them that you’ve learned many things from their organization and you will be grateful. Express your gratitude for the beautiful experience you had.
