GUIDELINES

  1. If you are resigning because of any problems at work or a clash of some sort, you should carefully choose what to write. You might have tried to resolve the problem, but it didn't work out. The real issue might have been the management which didn't or couldn't help. Clash of values with the company is also a problem. So, you should partially highlight the conflict because it may have been in the management itself.
  2. State that you are resigning. Give a date of entry into force.
  3. Mention why you are leaving. Mention the opportunities offered elsewhere. You can also be direct about the reasons if it is necessary.
  4. Appreciate the training and experience you got from this job.
  5. Explain how much time you need for transferring your duties smoothly.

Dear [Recipients Name],

It is with deep regret that I am submitting to you my resignation from my duties as the assistant project manager of the marketing division.

As you may know, there has been quite a lot of fights between one of my colleagues who is also an assistant manager such as myself and me. As we have the same duties to fulfill, we have found ourselves to be constantly butting heads with one another which has resulted in quite a few times to a project turning out to be not the best it could be. I believe that it is a clash of our beliefs that has caused this problem for our supervisor and us as well. I would like to take the initiative and resign to facilitate a better working environment for everyone involved. I have also just gotten an offer to resume my studies, and I am seriously considering that idea as well. I feel that now is the best time to push through with this resignation that I have been thinking of for quite some time now.

Please know that I have been happy with my stay here at Red Industries, and I have greatly appreciated everything I have learned here. As a repayment of sorts, I would like to help out in training my replacement so that the transition would be easier.

Sincerely,

[Senders Name]

Resignation Letters

Resignation letters are letters written to employers to announce the intent to leave a currently held position. While the main objective of a resignation letter is to inform your employer that you are leaving, you can use it to maintain a positive relationship with the recipient by leaving with a positive final impression. Though you may feel as if this is a great opportunity to say how much you hated the company, it's always in your best interest to be polite so that your professional future remains secure. A resignation letter should be sent well in advance or as required by the contract to give the recipient enough time to fill your position.

Resignation letters are formal letters, and therefore, the writing tone must be professional. State your intention to resign clearly. If appropriate, give your reasons for the same. Thank the recipient for the experience and state how this position has positively influenced your profession. While at it, resist the temptation to make negative comments unless you want the recipient to remember you as an ungrateful employee. Wrap it up with a kind note and mention that you are willing to offer any assistance needed during the transition.

Letters to Human Resources

Letters to human resources are letters written to the personnel or department that deals with administration, training, and hiring of employees in an organization. The role of human resources personnel is to handle everything from payroll to policy issues and legal grievances. If you have a policy or legal question, a personal issue that affects your work, or a serious problem with a colleague, the first person you may want to contact is a human resources representative. The best way to begin this conversation is by drafting a letter stating your specific problem.

When writing letters to human resources, make sure to follow all the rules of a formal letter. Start by addressing your letter to the right person. Write a clear subject line communicating your problem and indicating that action is needed. Set a formal and professional tone early in the conversation. Keep your sentences short and clear and avoid providing more information than is necessary. Describe the issue precisely giving a timeline of when it started. Explain what you have done or think can be done to address the issue. Request for an in-person meeting. Close on a note of anticipation to seeing the issue resolved.
