Subject: Resignation — Customer Service Officer Dear Jess, I'm writing to resign from my position as Customer Service Officer. Due to circumstances outside my control, I'm only able to give limited notice, with my last day on Friday 4 July. I'm sorry for the short timeframe and will do whatever I can to ease the transition before I finish. Kind regards, Sam

Frequently asked questions
How do I write a simple resignation letter?
Keep it short and professional: state that you're resigning and from which role, give your last day, thank them briefly, and offer to help with the handover. You don't need to explain your reasons in detail. This tool builds that wording for you from a few details.
How much notice do I have to give?
It depends on your award or enterprise agreement and your employment contract, so it varies from person to person. This tool only helps with wording, not entitlements — check the Fair Work Ombudsman website for notice periods and final pay that apply to your situation.
Should I resign by email or a letter?
A written resignation — an email or a letter — is best for most roles because it creates a clear record. A short message can be appropriate for casual or hospitality-type work. The tool offers both an email/letter style and a short-message style.
What if I'm leaving on bad terms?
The 'leaving on difficult terms' option keeps your message brief, neutral and professional, with no criticism or grievances. Resigning gracefully protects your reputation and any future reference, even when the experience has been hard.
Does this tool store what I type?
No. Anything you enter is only used to build your message on this page. It is not saved, and there's no sign-up.
