HOW TO WRITE A RESIGNATION LETTER
No matter what the reason, resigning from your job is likely to be an 
uncomfortable experience.
If you are leaving for personal reasons (such as moving away, starting a 
family, or retiring), you may feel sad about leaving. But if you are leaving 
for a better opportunity, or you’ve simply had enough of your current job, 
you may be glad to be moving on.
Either way, it’s always going to be in your best interests to leave on a 
positive note, and to resign in a professional manner.
