Resignation letter during probation

Check probation notice rules, keep the letter short and professional, and return property promptly.

How to use this resignation letter during probation

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 resignation letter during probation, 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.
