Resignation Letters

Saturday January 3, 2009
When writing a letter of resignation, it's important to keep your resignation letter simple, brief, and to-the-point. It should also be positive, because once you have decided to resign, there's no point in criticizing your employer or your job - you may need a reference in the future.

Write a formal resignation letter, so it can be placed in your employment file. When you're not sure what to write, review sample resignation letters to get some ideas. You can use them to create your own personalized resignation letter.
