Remember, it’s a small world, and when it comes to leaving your job, you want to leave on the best terms possible.

When writing your resignation letter, keep in mind, less is more. Remember this is not a time to be negative about your work environment. The letter should be clear, concise, and include the following:

Essential details: Intention to resign, title, last day

Positive tone: Polite, helpful, appreciative

Final responsibilities: Summary of what will be done during the transition period
