Three weeks notice letter

Match the date to about 21 days, outline handover priorities, and confirm if your manager wants a different end date.

How to use this three weeks notice 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 three weeks notice 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.
