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.
As it's a formal letter, refer to the date and time of your discussion with your manager, the role you are resigning from, and the date of your last day. You may want to add a sentence re-stating your reasons. If relevant, highlight what you learned in the role and how much you enjoyed working there.
