Two Weeks Notice Letter: Templates & Etiquette

Why the Notice Letter Matters

A two weeks notice letter is a short, formal message telling your employer you are resigning and when your last day will be. Done well, it preserves relationships, protects references, and leaves the door open for the future.

What to Include

• A clear statement that you are resigning.
• Your last working day, typically two weeks out.
• A brief thank-you for the opportunity.
• An offer to help with the transition.

What to Avoid

Do	Don't
Keep it positive and short	Air grievances or blame
State a clear final date	Leave the timeline vague
Offer transition help	Drop responsibilities abruptly
