The Art of writing resignation letter not comes by practice, but by having a genuine attitude. One of them may be to maintain a positive relationship with the employer. Essentially when you have a strong relationship with the employer, you have to take time to detail out the reasons and appreciate little intrinsic details. As you never know, you might work back with the same employer in the Future.

Never give an audacious resignation letter, whatever the circumstances are. Be it a tough employer, you will have to handle the situation tactfully for you might have to get a glowing reference from them for your future employer. Do give a background for your resignation. The reasons may be many, be it a relocation, new job, or personal reasons. Do not mention anything negative, as the resignation will be in your employment record. Give your True reasons and be in good Terms to get a sense of satisfaction on your resignation.

Put in your effort to make the exit a gentle one and not a stream rolling slide to the exit. If you had stayed short with the employer, a Basic template can be used. If you had a longer tenure, pick a formal and professional template.
