Dear Mr./Mrs. {Recipient’s Name},
I am writing this letter to resign from my position of {Your Position}. I sincerely regret the fact that I have to leave {Your Company}. However, due to the recent changes made in the company pertaining to {Write a change here, for example the introduction of a policy which outlines the deduction of 5% from an employee’s salary due to late coming}. Hence, I believe it is in my best interest to do so.
While I appreciate this initiative, which will surely ensure punctuality in the workplace, it would have been better had the total working hours and productivity of each employee being taken into account first. I always stayed back beyond my office hours, in order to ensure that my tasks for the day were complete. As a result, almost daily I clocked more than 8:30 hours.
For me functioning under this new policy has become difficult and hence I believe it is better for me to leave. I will miss being associated with {Your Company}. Working for {Your Company}, under {your manager/boss’s name} guidance has enlightened me in every aspect and has also given me the insights and hands on experience on how business in this industry operates. I learned from Mr. Shrirang {HR head} how to communicate with the union leaders and manage their demands. My colleagues and team members were very supportive and we developed a feeling of camaraderie. Thank you for making my tenure here an unforgettable one.
I will ensure that all the tasks currently assigned to me such as the {list your tasks, reports, projects: e.g., Safety inspection for Chakan Plant for this month}, before my official departure. I would also like to help in the transition of my duties so that my department will not face any inconvenience. Please do not hesitate to tell me anything I can help with.
Kindly accept this letter as my official notice of resignation. It has been a pleasure working with {Your Company}. Wishing everyone success in their future endeavours.
Sincerely,

Dear Mr./Mrs. {Recipient’s Name},
I regret to inform you that I will no longer be working as a {Your Position} at {Your Company}. I have got an acceptance from College of Engineering, Pune for Bachelor of Engineering in Information Technology.
You know I have been trying to pursue engineering, especially in the IT branch. My father always wanted me to become an engineer. After my father’s death, it was you and your company who supported me. I thank Mr. Pratap Aiyaar to have hired me after my 12th. My job here has supported my mother and me both financially and emotionally. I have saved enough money for my engineering fees as well as to fund my living expenses. Also, the Government of India Scholarship will help me manage most part of the tuition fees.
Nick Corcodilos says that a degree is not necessary to have a successful career, but not having one means foregoing certain jobs. Becoming an engineer will open up new avenues in a job for me. I will be able to comfortably manage my home and my commitments thoroughly. My mother is overjoyed with the acceptance, her happiness knows no bound. I will always be grateful to {Your Company} for all the help I have received. My work here as a call center representative will be useful for my future aspirations. My communication skill has become stronger. I thank my team manager, Mr. Shetty to have accommodated my few errors in the beginning. He was very flexible with my shifts. I will also miss my colleagues. Their companionship has made my tenure pleasant.
Thank you once again for all the help. I will always be indebted to you. I hope to maintain a future relationship with you and {Your Company}. I wish everyone best.

Dear Mr./Mrs. {Recipient’s Name},
I am writing to inform you that I will be resigning from my position of (Your Position) at (Your Company) on account of my pregnancy.
It is said by Lin Yutang that “Of all the rights of women, the greatest is to be a mother.” I am both nervous and delighted at this time as motherhood is a cheerful challenge. It is both joyous as well as demanding. And hence I have decided to resign from my position to offer complete attention to my child. The Doctor anticipates some complications in my pregnancy. He thinks that my child may be premature. Therefore my family and I believe it is in my best interest to focus on my pregnancy.
While I look forward to commencing a new beginning in life, I will miss working here. (Your Company) and each of its employees has been immensely helpful and supportive during my first few months of pregnancy. I am especially grateful to HR manager Mr. Banerjee for bringing a special pregnancy chair for me. It was really a kind gesture from the Company’s side to have done so. All of my department members, my team leader, and colleagues have been extremely cooperative. My team leader accommodated my submissions even though I exceeded the deadlines. My colleagues assisted me in most of my tasks. This place has made my journey so memorable. I would have never dreamed of leaving it. It is only because of the complications that I am required to. Jodi Picoult has rightly pointed out “(24/7) once you sign on to be a mother, that’s the only shift they offer.” I look forward to embarking upon my motherhood.
I want everyone at (Your Company) to know it was a pleasure and I wish you all the best.

Dear Mr./Mrs. {Recipient’s Name},
It is with a heavy heart that I am submitting my resignation from the post of {Your Position} at {Your Company} effective {Date: Day, Month, Year}.
I cannot express in words what this Company means to me. I never imagined I could ever enter the field of insurance and risk management. I still remember when I was first recruited as an insurance agent. I could barely communicate with my co-workers, let alone customers. I was timid, shy and taciturn. However over time with proper guidance from Alok Sir, I enhanced my communication and sales ability. He taught me how to first comprehend for ourselves what is the importance of being insured and then encourage others to be. It is because of him that I developed self-confidence and achieved the highest targets of ensuring people. It is due to him that my financial intelligence and skill to compare policies has increased.
I would also like to thank my group members. I could not ask for a better group of colleagues. They accommodated my weakness and helped me evolve. I will miss working here and will always cherish the fond memories we have made together. It is very emotional for me to resign. I will give my full commitment until I am here. I have already achieved my month targets. Please let me know if I can help make the transition smoother.
I wish {Your Company} every success in the future. It was a pleasure working with {Your Company}.

Dear Mr./Mrs. {Recipient’s Name},
I wish to resign from my position of {Your Position} at {Your Company}. I believe I have wasted a year of my life while working with {Your Company}. The HR manager Priya does not give the compensation and claims that were promised. I have done over time twenty times and I am yet to receive my payment. Your managers are terrible and very sluggish.
Also, my team manager is good for nothing. I know much more than him, half of the time I was asked to resolve the connectivity issues. Technically I should be receiving his salary. The work stress here is too much. There is no proper employee grievance redressal system.
The only good part here was the companionship of my colleagues. I wish them good future which they will attain only after leaving this Company. I wish them success and hope this Company at least returns their unpaid claims.
Thank you for nothing.

Someone has put it aptly, that “the desire to write grows with writing”. Had you not given me the opportunity to try technical writing, I would have never considered doing it. I came into the writing industry trying to enter the field of feature writing. Creativity and imagination were something that I was endowed with. However technical writing is completely different from feature writing. Here you have to function under a set of limitations ensuring modification of expert’s words into layman’s communication. To transform complex perspective of the scientist into simple concepts which common man can fathom, prohibiting superimposition of the writer’s own ideas into the text. Webster Earl Britton has explained appropriately that the essential characteristic of technical writing is “the effort of the author to convey one meaning and only one meaning in what he says.”
My experience here was very fruitful. It taught me how to combine creativity with analytical thinking. It enabled me to have a control on my thoughts and trained me to use it judiciously. I am especially thankful to the Senior Technical Writer Mr. Ganesh Cheetry who monitored my writing from time to time and gave me constructive feedback on it. My co-writers, Manish, Priya, and Abhishek have also contributed tremendously. They helped me in attaining correct description of products after speaking for hours with the engineers. Now the time has come that I must resign. I have got another opportunity as a feature writer for XYZ Company. As I stated earlier that I always wanted to do feature writing. Now I have an opportunity that opportunity and would not want to miss it. I am grateful for all the inputs I have attained here and will use it for my future accomplishments.
I hope my resignation does not cause any inconvenience. I have already completed the work laid out in our contract. The Manual for Product Z is completed. I will miss working here. Thank you for all the help and support you have given me.

Please accept this letter as my formal resignation as {Your Position} for {Your Company}. I request you to release me by {Date: Day, Month, Year} if possible. I am very sorry to have given you such a short notice. It was only yesterday that I received a letter from ICCE Entrepreneur Vision stating that they have selected my Business Proposal and have agreed to provide sponsor my start-up.
I am both happy and sad at the same time. I had always envisioned of having a business of my own and I am delighted to have been selected among the very few Indians for procuring full funding. However, I am also disheartened as I will no longer be able to work with you. Being employed at {Your Company} was a boon for me. I got a hands-on experience of all the departments here. I am especially grateful to Mr. Akshay Kamle for teaching me the essence of business development. I will apply whatever I have learned here to my new venture.
I would also like to thank my coworkers. The enthusiasm with which we as a team worked will be memorable. Karthik my team partner selflessly helped me in all my assignments and tasks. I will miss my colleagues greatly.
I hope my resignation does not cause you any inconvenience. I once again apologize for notifying you on such a short notice. I am sure you understand that such opportunities come only once in a lifetime. Thank you for having me. Please let me know if I can help you in any manner.
I wish everyone success.
Sincerely,

I regret to inform you that I am resigning from my position of {your designation} immediately, due to some personal reasons, which require my immediate attention. Please accept this letter as a formal notification of my resignation. I will be resigning on {Date: Day, Month, Year}.
I understand this is very abrupt and unprofessional of me. My action does not adhere to the Company’s protocol of giving a notice of {Check your Company Policy and mention the exact notice you should serve} in advance. However, my grandfather has been diagnosed with a rare disease called guillain-barré syndrome, which occurs due to a severe bacterial infection.

If any further delay is caused, the infection might become fatal, according to his physician.

I will miss my all my colleagues and would like to thank them immensely for their unceasing support. I have informed my co-workers, Satish Singh and Ritesh Paul, about my departure. They will be taking over my project, with prior permission from my manager.
I apologize once again for submitting this resignation letter on such short notice. I hope you will understand. If required, I will be available on call and via email on a limited basis, until the transition is smoothly over. Thank you very much for your attention in this matter. It has been a pleasure working with {Company Name} and I wish everyone all the best for their future.

Resignation Letter – Retirement/Superannuation Letters
Retirement/VRS Resignation Letter Sample 1:
Sub: Resignation
Dear Mr./Mrs. {Recipient’s Name},
I would like to take a voluntary retirement from the position of {Your Position} at {Your Company}. I have spent almost 15 years here and I have enjoyed every minute spent here. You may wonder why I am taking retirement when I still have 6 years of service still remaining. The reason is that my son has now become a permanent resident of United Kingdom and he feels that it is better if I shift there and stay with him.
After my open-heart surgery, it has become a bit difficult for me to manage things alone. While I appreciate all the help I have received from this Company after my surgery, I feel it will be best for me to shift to the UK. I will also be able to spend more time with my granddaughter.
It has been an honour to have served this Company for so many years. I will miss everything about this place; first few years will be very difficult for me to adjust. I would love to thank each and every member who has been a part of my life during my tenure here. I miss Avinash Sir who has now retired and Pradnya Wanjale my present head. She is really very talented. I thank my colleagues and staff. I have made many friends here and hope to maintain relations even after leaving India.
I hope you understand my reason and will grant me the voluntary retirement which should be effective from the end of this month. Thank you for your attention in this matter. I feel really lucky to have been part of such a great Company. I am sure it this Company will reach new heights. I wish everyone success and prosperity for the future.

Resignation Letter – Farewell
Sub: Resignation
Dear Mr./Mrs. {Recipient’s Name},
Someone had said, “how lucky I am to have something that makes saying goodbye so hard”. That’s exactly what I am feeling now. It is with great difficulty I write this letter to you all. I cannot compile the right words to express how I am feeling presently while leaving all of you. While I am overjoyed to start my new job in Mumbai, leaving Pune and this Company is very saddening.
This Company has literally been my home. While I have been away from my parents for three years, the presence of you all never made me realize my distance from them. Your support and love in my life have motivated me to achieve my dreams and aspirations. I still remember during our trip to Goa, I feel ill and how each one of you ensured that I was alright. During my three years in this Company, I met so many people who have taught me something or the other. Prasad Sir has been very encouraging in all my assignments. I have learned the importance of commitment and perseverance from him. I will miss my colleagues who are more than friends to me now. I wish the members of all the departments the very best in the future.
Thank you, everyone, for being a part of my life. I hope we stay in touch through social media.
I wish you all well and hope the best for you!
Sincerely,
{Your Name}
