Frequently asked questions
How do I write a resignation email?
Use a clear subject line (for example, 'Notice of resignation'), greet your manager, state that you're resigning and from which role, give your last working day, and offer to help with the handover. Keep it short and professional.
What should the subject line be?
Something simple and clear like 'Resignation', 'Notice of resignation', or 'Resignation — [your role]'. This tool adds a suitable subject line for you.
How much notice should I give in my resignation email?
That depends on your situation, so this tool doesn't state a number. Check your employment contract, award or agreement if you are unsure about your required notice period.
Should I give a reason in my resignation email?
You don't have to. You can keep it brief or choose 'Prefer not to say'. If you'd like to include a reason, the tool can add a short, neutral line.
Is a resignation email enough, or do I need a letter?
For most roles a resignation email is fine and creates a clear record. If you need a formal letter instead, use our Resignation Letter Generator.
