Generally, you should give your employer a two-week notice before quitting. While no federal or state laws require you to do so, a notice period allows sufficient time to tie up loose ends and say your goodbyes without throwing the company's operations into disarray.
Unless you have a signed contract (Military, teacher, doctor etc) that specifically requires you to give notice, then you can quit your job at any time with or without notice. In most employment situations, two weeks notice is a courtesy only and you are not obligated to give any notice.
When it comes to the duration of a two weeks notice, there can be some confusion over whether it refers to 10 or 14 days. Typically, a two weeks notice is understood to mean two working weeks, which equates to 10 working days. This doesn't include weekends, as they aren't considered part of the standard workweek.
Please accept this letter as formal notification of my intention to resign from my position as job title with company name. My final day will be date of last day as per my notice period. I would like to thank you for the opportunity to have worked in the position for the past time in employment.
In a resignation letter with notice period, you need to state your name, address, and contact details along with the date and the name, job title, company name, company address of the addressee; the email version of the notice period letter needs you to mark a copy to both the HR and Manager and focus on the template.

It's common courtesy to give at least one week's notice to your employer if you've been with your company for more than one month but less than two years. Consider giving two weeks' notice even if you've only been with your company for a few months.
