Darn, your job now is getting on your nerves. Maybe this is the best time to say goodbye to your job and move on. Goodbye everyone and says hello to a new beginning! Okay I get it, you want to leave your job badly but that doesn't mean you can be so harsh in sending your resignation letter. Come on guys, we are all professionals so let's act like one okay?

Don't ever dare to make a dramatic scene like you see in the movies. That's not recommended in real life. Have this wild imagination in throwing resignation letter at the boss, say I'm quit and BAMM mic drop? Perhaps you can keep it as an imagination only. 

Resignation letter. Oh my, do we have to write it? Can I just notice my boss that I'm quitting? No, you can't. This is the crucial step so you don't want to screw thing up, right? Make sure you send your resignation letter in 2 weeks earlier notice. So to help you guys out there on how to write the best resignation letter without sounding so pathetic, here's a step-by-step resignation letter template that you can use. 

Part 1: The fundamental of resignation letter

Let's get it straight to the point. No need to sugar coat or get creative in the beginning. You don't have to start your letter with romantic poem, or speak highly about your boss. Just state the position you're resigning  from and the effective date. Perhaps you probably shared with your boss the reason of your leaving, but you don't have to state them here. Keep it simple and nice.

Dear [your boss’ name],

Please accept this letter as formal notification that I am resigning from my position as [position title] with [company name]. My last day will be [your last day—usually two weeks from the date you give notice].

Part 2: Err thank you boss?

"Seriously, I have to thank my boss for leaving a job? She/he the reason why I'm leaving." It's always a good idea to thank your employer for the opportunity given, and describe some of the key things you've learned. Think this way, you might need their help as your reference in getting a new job, so keep the network positive and no hurt feeling.

Thank you so much for the opportunity to work in this position for the past [amount of time you’ve been in the role]. I’ve greatly enjoyed and appreciated the opportunities I’ve had to [a few of your favorite job responsibilities], and I’ve learned [a few specific things you’ve learned on the job], all of which I will take with me throughout my career.

Part 3: Let me help you

At last, we've reached the last part of resignation letter. State your willingness to help out with the transition. You don't have to write it in detail and never make any promise that you can't keep. Just a couple of lines stating that you'll ensure a smooth wrap-up of your task and make sure you finish it and pass down to the new staff with all knowledge that you can teach.

During my last two weeks, I’ll do everything possible to wrap up my duties and train other team members. Please let me know if there’s anything else I can do to aid during the transition.

I wish the company continued success, and I hope to stay in touch in the future.

Sincerely,

[Your name]

This is just a guideline for you guys in writing resignation letter, but feel free to adjust it based on your creativity. Even though it's just a piece of paper but your former boss will be impressed with it. Plus, if you ever decide to come back to your company (who knows right?) of course you're welcome with this professional attitude.

Happy quitting!
