What is a Letter of Resignation?
A letter of resignation is a letter expressing the intent of an employee to resign from a company. It is delivered by an employee to a supervisor or boss, and can be sent through postal mail, e-mail, interoffice memo, or can be hand delivered. The letter of resignation generally expresses the details of the resignation, and includes reasons for leaving and the date of resignation. It is often called a resignation letter or a notice of employment termination. Written like a typical business letter, the letter of resignation includes a name, mailing address, city, state, zip code, phone number, and e-mail address. These are usually followed by a date, and then the information of the person receiving the letter, including the name, job title, company, and address of the company. The letter is then addressed as a typical business letter, usually with a Dear Mr. or Dear Ms.
