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.
