How To Write A Resignation Letter Writing a resignation letter isn't always easy - you need to handle it professionally or it could have a serious impact on your career in the future. Resist any temptation to sound off about any grievances you held or where they can stick their job, the short-lived satisfaction really is not worth the possible consequences. Address the Resignation Letter to your boss by name. Try something courteous and professional which doesn't 'beat about the bush', but gets to the point and notes positive reasons for accepting the new job, NOT negative reasons for leaving this one. Make sure you have tied up the loose ends as far as possible. If you have work that someone will need to take over, write a separate note to go with your resignation later which lists important things like urgent work or passwords. State your contractual notice period, but you might offer to stay a reasonable amount of time. More often than not, it won't be taken up, but it is a good parting gesture to make. You could offer some time to train up a replacement which is a good way for your employer to remember you (instead of just walking out).
