How to Write Resignation Letters and Emails

Accepting a new position? Leaving the workforce altogether?



Remember that your official resignation letter or resignation email may follow you for years.



Whatever the situation (pleasant or disliked), don't burn your bridges with a poorly-worded, anger-fueled tirade that turns off bosses, colleagues, and the HR staff who can help you with a smooth transition.



Better to get your point across and end the work relationship on a positive note! With these resignation letter samples, you'll learn how to:

•Write a resignation letter that leaves peer and management relationships intact

•Identify the essential details to include in every resignation letter

•Avoid what you should never say in a resignation letter

•Save time as the manager when writing to accept someone’s resignation with the model phrases provided



If you think you might change jobs sometime in the future (and statistics say practically all of us will), this slim book gets right to the point. It definitely belongs in your collection of business communication and career reference tools.
