30 day notice resignation letter

Use a real calendar end date about 30 days out. Plan documentation early and check your contract for exact notice rules.

How to use this 30 day notice resignation letter

Tell your manager first when you can, then send written notice the same day. Put a calendar last day in the letter—not only “in two weeks.” Keep the reason short; this page is for a 30 day notice resignation letter, so stay on that intent and link out for tones or notice length.

The samples below are starting points, not scripts. Swap names, title, company, and last day. If your situation is sensitive (health, harassment, legal risk), keep the letter factual and use HR or counsel for details that should not live in email.
