Below are some quick tips to keep in mind when writing a letter of resignation.

• Always type your letter, never hand write it. Use a standard business font and format.
• Keep the letter simple, and use a positive tone.
• Date your letter so that it is clear when you submitted your resignation.
• Address and deliver your letter directly to your boss or supervisor.
• State what position you are resigning from. Do not forget to include the correct title.
• Make sure you include when your last day of work will be. Typically, this will be two weeks after the date at the top of your letter; but this does not always hold true.
• Proofread. Proofread. Proofread.
• Sign the letter to make it official.
• Remember to save a copy for your records. You never know when you may need it.
