Formal Resignation Email template and format

A resignation email follows a predictable format, and once you know the sections you never have to think about layout again. Here is the standard structure with a copy-paste template, plus a tool to fill it in from your own notes.

How to use this template

Fill in the position, company, and final day, and check the date against your contract’s notice period before sending. Keep the email short; anything about reasons, counteroffers, or future plans belongs in a conversation, not in the record.

Example
