Resignation letter, as the name suggests is generally written to obtain freedom from any unwanted job or detrainment from unsatisfied position or workplace. Merely a resignation letter is often produced in order to join a better job or well facilitated position instead of the present job situation. A resignation letter generally ought to be always on a positive note. Employees alter their jobs from time to time, as if it is almost a part of life. Leaving on a positive note might be difficult on certain cases, but providing the employer the appropriate time to fill up the vacancy is essential. If you are stationed at a higher position, generally providing at least two week’s time is customary. This facilitates the company or institution to have the new recruit trained, preferably by you, as it is courtesy to the company, as well as to your co-workers.

Negativity must be avoided. Being positive always is essential, and need of the hour. Speaking negatively about employees from the past company to anyone should be avoided. Think of the achievements and the positive aspects thus obtained from the past company.

Always be courteous and polite while producing the resignation letter. The language of the letter should not reflect arrogance. Never be oblivious to be thankful for the past stint with the institution.

Here are a few examples of resignation letters.
