Frequently Asked Questions

Four things: your intent to resign, your last working day, a brief expression of gratitude (even if you're not feeling it), and an offer to help with the transition. That's it. Keep it short and professional. Your resignation letter isn't the place to air grievances or write your memoir.
You don't have to, and often it's better not to get specific. 'I've accepted a new opportunity' or 'I'm pursuing a new direction' is perfectly adequate. If you're leaving for a reason that's hard to sugarcoat, keep it vague. The exit interview is where you can be more candid if you choose.
Two weeks is standard in the US for most roles. Senior or specialized positions often warrant 3-4 weeks. Check your employment agreement -- some contracts specify a notice period. When in doubt, two weeks is rarely wrong. Giving more time is generous; giving less can damage relationships.
In person (or video call if remote) first, then follow up with the formal letter via email. The letter is a written record, not the way your boss should first hear the news. Having the conversation first shows professionalism and respect -- even if the relationship isn't great.
Keep the letter short, neutral, and professional. No matter how justified your frustration is, putting it in writing can come back to haunt you. State your last day, thank them briefly, offer standard transition help, and move on. Vent to your friends, not in your resignation letter.
