How to Write a Resignation Email
A resignation email should be short, gracious and leave the door open. State that you're resigning, give your last day, and thank them — that's it. Use the template below or generate one.
Draft your resignation email
What a resignation email should say
- A clear statement that you're resigning from your role.
- Your last working day, in line with your notice period.
- A brief thank-you for the opportunity.
- An offer to help with a smooth handover.
Keep the tone positive
Even if you're leaving on difficult terms, keep the email professional and warm. It's a record, and you may need a reference later.
Save detailed feedback for an exit conversation rather than the resignation email itself.
