Simple Resignation Letter Sample

In this resignation letter, we keep it simple and straight to the point. The resignation process typically begins with the employee talking about their plans with their immediate supervisor who would then ask their employee to submit a resignation letter to formalize the process.

Despite its brevity, this simple resignation letter example still makes you look professional. You can accomplish this by being grateful to your soon-to-be former employer and also relaying to them that there’s a process in place to make your exit from the company as non-disruptive as possible.

You may address you resignation letter to the most senior manager if it’s a small firm or the head of human resources at your office if you work at a bigger firm. You can cc your immediate supervisor in the cover letter as a further courtesy.

(Today’s Date)

Dear Jodi,

I’m tendering my resignation effective two weeks from today.

I’d like to take this opportunity to thank the management of QBC Inc. for hiring me and I look forward to crossing paths with you all in another professional capacity.

I have discussed my plans with my immediate supervisor and I’ll be turning over my duties and responsibilities to another team member in order to make the transition as smooth as possible.

Yours truly,

Richard Brooks
