Daniel Okafor Operations Manager, Supply Chain 14 July 2026 Priya Nair Halcyon Logistics Ltd Dear Priya, I am writing to formally resign from my position as Operations Manager in the Supply Chain department at Halcyon Logistics Ltd. In accordance with the four-week notice period in my contract, my last working day will be 11 August 2026. This was not an easy decision. Over the past five years, Halcyon has given me the opportunity to grow from a coordinator into a manager responsible for three regional hubs, and I am genuinely grateful for the trust you and the leadership team have placed in me. I have accepted a role closer to home that allows me to take the next step in my career, but I leave with nothing but respect for this team. I am committed to making the transition as smooth as possible. Over the coming four weeks I will fully document my current projects, including the Q3 carrier renegotiation and the warehouse management system rollout, and I am happy to train my successor or hand over to an interim lead — whichever the team prefers. I would also appreciate confirmation of how my six days of accrued annual leave will be handled, whether taken during the notice period or paid out with my final salary. Thank you again for five excellent years. I hope our paths cross again, and I wish Halcyon continued success. Yours sincerely, Daniel Okafor Operations Manager
Frequently asked questions
- How much notice do I need to give when I resign?
- Whatever your employment contract says — commonly two weeks in the US and anywhere from one week to three months elsewhere, often scaling with seniority or length of service. Check your contract or staff handbook before setting your last working day. Giving less notice than contracted can cost you pay or references, so if you need to leave early, negotiate it with your manager rather than simply announcing it.
- Do I have to give a reason for resigning?
- No. A resignation letter only needs to state that you are resigning and when your last working day will be. Many of the strongest resignation letters give no reason at all. If you choose to include one, keep it brief and positive — the letter goes in your permanent HR file and may be seen by future reference-checkers.
- Can I resign while on leave or during probation?
- Usually yes, but the rules vary — check your contract. Probation periods often carry a shorter notice period (sometimes just a few days), and resigning during annual leave, sick leave or parental leave is generally permitted, though how your remaining leave interacts with your notice period differs by jurisdiction and contract. When in doubt, ask HR how your notice will be calculated before you fix a last working day.
- Should I resign by email or with a printed letter?
- Best practice is both: tell your manager in person or on a call first, then follow up the same day with the written letter — either as a signed PDF attached to an email or a printed, signed copy handed to HR. The written letter is what creates the formal record of your notice date, so make sure it is dated and states your last working day explicitly.
- Can I retract a resignation after submitting it?
- Only if your employer agrees. Once a resignation is submitted, most jurisdictions treat it as binding — the employer can accept it and hold you to it, even if you change your mind an hour later. If you have second thoughts, speak to your manager immediately; many employers will allow a genuine retraction, but they are rarely obliged to.
- Do I need an account or subscription?
- No. You fill in the form, pay once ($14), and download your PDF. No account, no subscription, no recurring charges.
