How to Write a 2-Week Notice

Writing a professional two-week notice letter is important when you decide to leave your job. It helps maintain a positive relationship with your employer and leaves the door open for future opportunities or references. Here’s a simple guide on how to write an effective two-week notice:

1. Use a Professional Format

• Header: Include your name, address, phone number, and email.
• Date: Write the date you are submitting the notice.
• Employer’s Information: Include your manager’s name, title, company name, and company address.

2. Start with a Clear Statement of Resignation

Example:

Dear [Manager’s Name],
I am writing to formally resign from my position as [Your Job Title] at [Company Name], effective two weeks from today, [Last Working Day, Date].

3. Express Gratitude

Show appreciation for the opportunity and experience you gained. Example:

I want to thank you and the team for the support and opportunities I have received during my time here. I have learned a lot and enjoyed working with everyone.

4. Offer to Help with the Transition

This shows professionalism and goodwill. Example:

I am committed to making this transition as smooth as possible and am happy to assist with training my replacement or handing off my responsibilities.

5. Close Politely

End with a positive note. Example:

Thank you again for the opportunity to be part of [Company Name]. I look forward to staying in touch.
Sincerely,
[Your Name]
