It usually isn't easy to resign. Even if you hate your job and can't wait to start that new job, it still can be difficult to resign diplomatically and tactfully.

A resignation letter can help you maintain positive relationship with your old employer, while paving the way for you to move on. You never know when you might need that previous employer to give you a reference, so it makes sense to take the time to write a polished and professional resignation letter.
