What Belongs in a Resignation Letter — and What Does Not
Resignation Letter FAQ
How much notice should I give?
Two weeks is the professional standard for most roles in the US. Senior positions often give three to four weeks, and some contracts specify a required period — check yours before setting a date. The generator lets you pick any last working day.
Can I resign effective immediately?
You generally can (most US employment is at-will), but treat it as a last resort — for unsafe conditions, health emergencies, or serious ethical problems. An immediate exit without notice usually costs you the reference. If you must, keep the letter brief and neutral, and pick today's date as the last day.
Should I email the letter or hand it over in person?
Tell your manager in person or on a call first, then follow up with the written letter the same day — email is fine and creates a timestamped record. Send it to your manager and copy HR.
What tone should I use?
Grateful if the job treated you well — it protects the relationship and the reference. Professional when you want polite and neutral. Brief when circumstances are difficult and you want a minimal, correct record with nothing to argue with.
