Why a formal resignation letter matters
A resignation letter officially informs your employer that you are leaving and records your last working day. It starts your notice period, helps HR prepare your relieving letter and final settlement, and keeps the relationship professional for references in the future.
How this tool works
Enter your name and designation, your manager's name, the company, your notice period, your last working day, an optional reason and the date. The tool writes a polite, professional letter that mentions your notice period and last working day, and shows a live preview before you download the PDF to email or print.
Notice period and last day
Check your appointment letter or company policy for the notice period — 30, 60 or 90 days are common. Your last working day is usually the date of resignation plus the notice period, unless your manager agrees to an early release or you buy out the notice.
Keeping it professional
You do not have to explain your reasons in detail; a short, positive line is enough. Thank your employer, offer to help with handover, and avoid complaints in the letter — it stays in your personnel file.
Good habits
Speak to your manager before sending the letter, ask for written acknowledgement of your resignation, and keep a copy until you receive your relieving letter.
