Frequently Asked Questions
How long should a resignation letter be?
Short. A resignation letter should be one page at most, typically 250-400 words. It's a professional formality, not a memoir. State your resignation, express gratitude, and offer to help with the transition.
Should I explain why I'm leaving?
You can, but keep it brief and professional. You don't owe a detailed explanation in writing. A simple 'I've accepted a new opportunity' or 'for personal reasons' is perfectly acceptable.
What if I'm leaving on bad terms?
Even if you're frustrated, keep the letter professional and positive. A resignation letter becomes part of your employment record. Save honest feedback for an exit interview or private conversation.
How much notice should I give?
Two weeks is the common professional standard in the US, though your employment agreement or company policy may specify something different. The letter lets you state whatever last day you've decided on — it doesn't assume a fixed notice period.
Should I resign in person or by letter?
Both. The professional norm is to tell your manager directly first, then follow up with a written resignation letter for the record. The letter documents your last day and keeps the handoff clear.
Can I edit the letter after it's generated?
Yes. After purchasing, you can edit the letter directly on the page before downloading. We encourage you to personalize it with your own words and specific details.
How much does this cost?
$39, one time. No subscription, no hidden fees. You get PDF, Word, and clipboard formats, plus inline editing and unlimited re-downloads.
