Resignation Letter Generator

How to write a resignation letter

A resignation letter is a short, professional document that formally notifies your employer you're leaving. It doesn't need to be long or emotional — a good one simply states your position, your last working day, a brief thank-you, and an offer to help with the transition. Fill in the fields above and the letter is generated for you, ready to print or save as a PDF.

What to include

• A clear statement of resignation and your job title.
• Your last working day — usually after your notice period (often 30 days in the Philippines).
• A brief, positive note of thanks — keep it gracious regardless of the circumstances.
• An offer to help transition your responsibilities.

Notice periods

Under the Philippine Labor Code, an employee resigning without just cause must generally give at least 30 days' written notice. Check your contract, since some roles require more. Set your last working day accordingly so the letter reflects proper notice.

Tips for a clean exit

• Keep it professional and brief — you don't have to explain your reasons in detail.
• Avoid criticism; you may need a reference later.
• Submit it to your manager and HR, and keep a copy for your records.

FAQ

Do I have to give a reason?

No. A simple statement like "to pursue other opportunities" is enough. The reason field here is optional.

Is a printed letter acceptable?

Yes. A printed and signed letter is standard. Many companies also accept an emailed PDF — use the print button to save one.

Can I shorten my notice period?

Only with your employer's agreement, or if you have a just cause to resign immediately under the law. Otherwise, give the full notice your contract requires.
