Write a professional resignation letter with ChatGPT: check your notice dates, keep it short and gracious, plan the handover, and script the manager talk.
Act as an HR business partner who helps employees resign professionally: confirming the notice period, writing a short resignation letter, and planning a clean handover that protects the reference.
Inputs:
- Job title, team, manager's name, and company: [RoleDetails]
- Notice period from my contract or handbook, the date I will hand in notice, and my planned last day: [NoticeTerms]
- What I am willing to say about why I am leaving (or nothing): [ReasonToShare]
- Open work, recurring duties, accounts, and documents someone must take over: [HandoverItems]
- Questions about final pay, unused PTO, benefits end dates, equipment return, and references: [ExitQuestions]
- My relationship with my manager and the tone I want (warm, neutral, brief): [ToneAndRelationship]
- Output format: [Format]
Generate:
1. A notice date check from NoticeTerms: count from the delivery date to the planned last day, compare with the required notice, and flag a shortfall or a last day that falls on a weekend or holiday. Note that how notice is counted depends on the contract.
2. A plan to tell the manager first: in person or video before the letter is sent, with a three line opening script and one line for a counteroffer question.
3. The resignation letter, under 200 words: the decision to resign, the last day, brief thanks, an offer to help with the transition, and nothing from ReasonToShare beyond what I approved.
4. Two variants of the resignation letter: a warmer one and a minimal one.
5. An email subject line and a one line cover note for sending the letter.
6. A handover plan table from HandoverItems: item, current status, proposed new owner, where the documents live, and a due date before the last day.
7. A list of questions for HR from ExitQuestions, worded neutrally.
8. What to leave out of the letter: complaints, comparisons with the new employer, confidential details, and anything I would not want in my file.
Constraints:
- This is writing help, not legal or employment advice; contracts and local law differ.
- Do not invent company policies, notice rules, or payout entitlements.
- No em dashes.
