In many organisations especially in the IT industry company policies require you to provide a formal notice to your organisation before you resign from your job. This being part of the formalities to be completed before you resign, it is necessary to provide a notice period in your letter of resignation. Usually the notice period varies from two weeks to even three months. If you wish to leave the company before your notice period expires, you may have to forfeit a salary equivalent of the number of days pending on your notice period. Its extremely important to time your resignation while you prepare a resume format and write your job application letters.
Following is a simple resignation letter which mentions the notice period you offer to serve before your resignation comes into effect.
