Sick of your part-time job? Have you chosen to move on to greener pastures? After you’ve made this decision, it is time to write a resignation letter. A letter of resignation is one of the last impressions you leave with your employer. It will usually be included in your personnel file. Below are some sample resignation letters that might help you.
Obviously, do not copy these letters. These samples are meant to help you form your own personal letter. Your resignation letter should be typed, and in business letter format. If you’ve forgotten, please read, “How to Write a Business Letter.”

These letters can help you write your own personal letter. If possible, try to provide a month’s notice. However, a two week notice is usually sufficient for a part-time job. Good luck with your future endeavors!
