The fact that one decides to submit a resignation letter before quitting his or her job is enough to think it’s courtesy. However, a big question arises as you begin to weigh if it’s still considered courtesy to pass a rude resignation letter. To other employees, it doesn’t really matter as long as they send some sort of separation notice to their employer. Others also think it’s their only way to express how they disappointed they are during their stay in the company.
While most employees pick up Resignation Letter Templates, others are just more comfortable submitting rude resignation letters to their employers.
[Date]
[Immediate Supervisor],
Please accept this letter as notice of my formal resignation from my position at [xyz company]. My last day of employment will be [date].
I want to thank you for providing me with this opportunity three years ago. You saw my potential and provided the chance to learn from you and the team in ways that I could not envision and in ways that were unclear to me at the time. We’ve tackled many successful projects together, but my favorite was [project x]. That’s the project that showcased to me how much your mentorship expanded my [descriptive] expertise, and we had a lot of fun along the way. The time you spent teaching and challenging me has left a lasting impact on my career and development, and I'm grateful to have worked for you.
I wish you and everyone at [company] the best and look forward to staying in touch and helping in any way that I can — during and after this smooth transition. I’m reachable at [email] or [phone].
Sincerely,

I am resigning from my position as [title] for [xyz company] on [date].
I am happy to work with you and the team throughout the next two-week transition. To help ensure a seamless hand off of responsibilities, I’ve listed the projects that I still expect to be outstanding on my last day, including:
[Project One][Project Two][Project Three]
Thank you very much for the professional and personal development opportunities that you have provided me during the last few years.
Sincerely,

[Immediate Supervisor],
I am resigning from my position at [xyz company], effective [date].
One year ago, you took a chance on me, and I took a chance on the company. I appreciate that both sides took a risk on each other. While it’s tempting just to walk away, I feel obligated to explain my decision in hopes that it sparks positive change for the colleagues that I’m leaving behind.
I'm resigning because the company is using improper accounting to bolster its financial performance. In my initial memo to you dated [month, day, year], I outlined each accounting trick that is hiding losses the company is sustaining. In a subsequent meeting on [month, day, year] and attended by you, [name], and [name], we discussed each of the accounting issues in detail and decided to refer the matter to the company’s Vice President. On [month, day, year] a follow-up meeting was held and attended by the same group, the Vice President said the matter had been investigated and concluded that no changes would be made because we are an “aggressive company.” This is an outcome that I cannot accept.
The company’s business is built on trust. When its customers and employees find out about the true financial performance of the company, their trust will be destroyed and I expect the company will have to cease operations. This letter of resignation is my last effort to implore the company to correct its practices.
Thank you for the opportunity to be heard.
Sincerely,
[Name]
