A: In California, you are not legally obligated to provide a resignation letter or give notice when you decide to quit your job, especially if there are no specific terms outlined in an employment contract or company policy dictating otherwise.
To make your letter heartfelt, thank your employer for the opportunity and express your gratitude for your time there. You might choose to mention relationships you made, skills you gained or experiences you had in your role. Again, you can make your letter heartfelt without making it too personal.

Resign in Person If it's possible, it's always better to resign in person rather than over the phone, or, worse still, via email. Schedule some time to speak with your manager so you can talk about your decision face-to-face. If you can't meet in person, schedule a video call instead.
When is it okay to quit without notice? Unless employed under a contract, most people work under the terms of at-will employment, meaning that neither the employer or the employee has a legal obligation to give notice before terminating employment.
Etiquette says you should give the 4 weeks notice. However if this means you may miss another opportunity, then be open and honest with your boss, these periods are normally negotiable. I know I have negotiated with team members in the past, and let them finish up earlier.
Minimum notice periods Period of continuous serviceMinimum notice period 1 year or less 1 week More than 1 year - 3 years 2 weeks More than 3 years - 5 years 3 weeks More than 5 years 4 weeks

A polite expression of gratitude. A statement about your immediate departure from the company. Criticism of your colleagues.
