Example resignation letter 2:
Dear NAME,
I am writing to formally inform you that I tender my resignation from the position of INSERT with effect from DATE.
I understand from my contract that I am required to work a INSERT notice period, meaning that my leaving date will be DATE.
I thank you for your support during my time with COMPANY NAME, which I have found enjoyable and fulfilling.
Yours sincerely,
If you have holiday entitlement owing, add a paragraph like this:
Could you please confirm to me any holiday entitlement that has not yet been taken, and whether you are willing to reduce my notice period to take this into account, or perhaps buy out this entitlement, retaining me until notice has been fully worked.
