Resignation letter
Keep it short and kind: the fact that you’re leaving, your last day, a thank-you and an offer to help with the handover.
Everything runs in your browser. Nothing you type is sent to HiroHunt or stored.
What a resignation letter needs
- That you’re resigning, and from which role.
- Your last working day — check your notice period first with the notice period calculator.
- A thank-you.
- An offer to help with the handover.
You don’t have to give a reason. If you want to explain, do it in person.
Tell your manager first
Have the conversation in person or on a call, then send the letter straight after so there’s a written record with the date. Keep a copy for yourself.
Questions
Should I say why I’m leaving?
You don’t need to. A short, positive letter is best; save details for the conversation or the exit interview.
When does my notice start?
Usually the day your employer receives your resignation, but contracts and local laws differ — check yours.
Is anything stored?
No. The letter is built in your browser.
