Add countersignature Resignation Confirmation Letter

So today we're going to be talking about resignation letters. A resignation letter is simply a formal document that you would hand off to your employer to indicate your departure from the organization. We're going to talk about when to send it, what to say, how to format it, and then most importantly how to deliver it in a way that's going to preserve your relationship with your company. Now I'm frequently asked, is two weeks an appropriate amount of time to submit your resignation letter before you actually leave your organization? And by and large, the answer is yes-- a minimum of two weeks. Particularly if you are in a leadership role, I would lean closer to a month. The more time that you can give your employer to backfill your role and find someone to replace you, the better off you're going to be. Now I know that you may be in a situation where you just want to leave your company, and it seems like there might be a sense of urgency behind that for you. But what I can share with you is that it will be worth the investment of time to make sure that you craft an appropriate resignation letter, and submit it well enough in advance so that you preserve that relationship with your company. Even if it's something that you don't want to be a part of anymore, it's going to serve you well in the long run. And it's just going to create a relationship between you and your employer that is left on a really good note. Should you come in contact with any of your colleagues down the line, you just want to make sure that you're in a good spot there.

Please accept this letter as my formal resignation from my position as a Talent Acquisition Specialist at ABC Company. My last day is going to be Friday, May 29th, two weeks from today. Now you have complete control as to what other information you put inside of this resignation letter. If you want to elaborate further and provide detail as to why you're leaving the company, you certainly have the right to do that, but you are not required to do so. So if you do feel that providing some sort of context for a reason could help you out in the future, maybe for a future reference-- whatever it might be, then go...
