Basic Resignation Letter Templates
Are you trying to find the right words for a short, basic, and straightforward resignation letter? We’re here to help. Choose from our professional simple templates that can be downloaded, edited, and e-signed.
Professional Resignation Letters for All
Writing a professional resignation letter doesn’t have to be complicated or expensive. With our basic samples, you can create and share your letters within a few short minutes.
The best part? They’re completely free! We want our templates and tools to be accessible to anyone that needs them. Just download the letter that best suits your needs, then customize, sign, and share it.
Basic Resignation Letters for MS Word
You can download your letter as a PDF or as a Microsoft Word document, to ensure you can fully edit the contents of the letter—fill in information, remove sentences, or add new paragraphs.
After you’ve edited the letter, you can either print it directly from Word to sign and share a physical copy, or upload it back to Smallpdf to place an electronic signature and share your resignation letter over email.
Signing a Resignation Letter
In order to be legally binding, your resignation letter will require a signature, but this can be an electronic signature created with online software, like Smallpdf’s eSign tool. Easy to use and saves you time and resources.
All you have to do is upload your finished letter to our online eSign tool and then create and place your unique signature. Remember to check with your local laws and regulations around e-signatures—just to be safe.
