Form with which the board of directors of a corporation accepts the resignation of a corporate officer.
You can resign for any reason you like, and you are under no obligation to disclose the reason.
Dear Supervisor's Name, I am writing to inform you that I have decided to resign from my position as Job Title at Company Name. My last day of work will be Date. I want to take this opportunity to thank you and the entire team for the valuable experience and support provided during my time at Company Name.
To quit, write a simple letter addressed to your supervisor that says nothing more than you are resigning, and which day will be your last. Don't mention your reasons or future plans, no complaints, just your resignation and effective date.
Most U.S. states have at-will employment, which means an employee can resign without notice and for no stated cause. However, there are some exceptions. For employees covered by an employment contract, the contract may stipulate how much notice you are expected to give.
Include the position title and the last day you intend to work. For example: ``I am writing to formally resign from my position as (Your Position Title) at (Company Name), effective (Last Working Day, typically two weeks from the date of the letter).''
It is not necessary to officially provide a reason for leaving or resigning. An employee's resignation letter can simply say they are leaving/resigning and as long as they comply with the term and conditions of their employment contract that should be sufficient.
While you can give your employer a clear reason as to why you are leaving, you don't need to explain everything. For example, if your reason for leaving is a health issue, you can write “due to illness” in your letter.
You can follow these steps to format a simple resignation letter: Include contact information and date. Begin with a salutation. State your resignation. Explain why you are leaving (optional) ... Offer to help with the transition. Express your gratitude. Close and sign.
