Dear Mr./Ms. Last name:

Always send a formal resignation letter two weeks before terminating your present employment. Many resignation letters simply state your last day of employment and a willingness to assist in the transition process. Other letters may personally thank the employer and/or explain your reasons for departure. Whatever the circumstances may be, take care to phrase your resignation letter in a positive way. Your past employer might be called on to provide a reference for you in the future. If preferred, seek advice from a career or cooperative education counselor for writing a resignation letter.

Respectfully,

Name
