It's essential to give your employer enough notice to maintain goodwill and aid in the transition period. If you know you're retiring at the end of this year, consider drafting your letter at least a month or so in advance. Even longer doesn't hurt.
Your resignation letter should include your intention to retire, your current position, your last day of employment, expressions of gratitude, an offer to assist with the handover, and your personal contact information.

Ing to some resources, three to six months advance retirement notice is considered the standard — although it'd be wise to revisit your company policy before making a final decision.
