Acme Inc.
Dear Jamie Lee,
Please accept this letter as formal notice of my resignation from my position as Marketing Manager at Acme Inc.. My last day of work will be November 13, 2026. This serves as my two weeks’ notice.
I am relocating, which means I will not be able to continue in this role.
Thank you for the opportunity to work at Acme Inc.. I appreciate the support and experience I have gained during my time here.
During my remaining time, I will do everything I can to ensure a smooth transition, including wrapping up current projects and documenting my work.
I wish you and the team continued success.
Sincerely,
Alex Morgan
Tips for your resignation letter due to relocation
- Mention that the move is the reason, you do not need to share the destination.
- If your role could be done remotely, it is fine to ask whether that is an option before you resign.
- Align your last day with your moving date, but leave a buffer.
- Ask HR about final pay, benefits and relocation clawbacks if you received any support.
What to avoid
- Resigning before your move date is firm
- Forgetting to return company equipment before you leave town
