Your Sample Resignation Letter is Ready!
You decided to resign and need a sample Resignation letter?

No problem, but here is a word of advice: Take it easy, it is a job and
not the end of the world.

Should you decide to leave your job, don’t let it haunt you for the
rest of your professional career. Plan your departure well and make
work for you in your next job.

You might think that the resignation letter is your chance to vent out
your work frustration. Well, think again. What if you next employer
calls your previous employer; a negative written evidence is the last
thing you look for.

In the sample resignation letter, we suggest that you keep it positive
and professional to the maximum. You need also to keep it friendly
and life loving.

Our sample resignation letter shows you that you should leave
friends and not enemies behind.

So, let's do some planning for the resignation process:


Give a verbal notice to your boss before you submit a resignation
letter.
If your boss or manager accepts the idea of your resignation, they
you can submit it in couple of hours.
Never have the letter of resignation in your hand when you deliver
the verbal notice.

Justify your resignation in general and avoid the specific.
Mention the good times you had. Sure you had at least good
moments if not minutes in any job!!

Consider any contractual obligations when you write your sample
resignation letter. Pay special attention to the notice period and to
whom the resignation letter is to be presented.
You can handwrite your resignation letter, but printing it is better and
more professional.

Personally hand over your resignation letter. The secretary, fax, email
or post should be your last resort if things are not that good.
