To write a proper resignation letter, the key points include stating your intention to resign in the subject line, clarifying the reason for your decision, expressing gratitude for the job opportunity, and offering transition assistance before you leave.
Dear (Recipient's Name), I am writing to resign from my position at (Company Name), effective immediately. I appreciate the opportunities during my time here but have decided this is the best course for my personal and professional well-being. I appreciate your understanding.
Many people leave their jobs when they're faced with personal reasons like health issues or family emergencies. You don't need to disclose personal or family matters. Sometimes, saying, “I had to leave for personal and family reasons,” is enough as long as you explain why you're ready to reenter the workforce.
Provide a reason for leaving (optional): If you feel comfortable doing so, you can provide a brief reason for your resignation. Keep this explanation professional and concise.
I wanted to let you know that I've decided to resign from my position at XYZ Company, effective (date). I want to express my gratitude for the opportunities and experiences I've had here, and for the support and guidance you've provided me during my time at the company.

Your intention to resign, last day of work, and an expression of gratitude are the key elements to include on a resignation letter. You could also mention a general reason for leaving, but it's not necessary. Keep it short and professional.
Here are some of the good reasons to state for leaving employment: Career change. Looking for career growth. Organizational restructuring. Better opportunity. Health reasons. Breaking the law. Terrible boss.
You don't need to explain why you're leaving in your resignation letter. But, choosing to do so allows you to give context and provide feedback, which can help you maintain a positive relationship.
Example: ``I am looking for a position that allows for better work-life balance, which is important for my personal well-being.'' When communicating your reason, keep it brief, positive, and professional. It's also a good idea to express gratitude for the opportunities you had in your current role.
