Fill in who the letter is to, your job and your last day, and Hemmingway writes a short resignation letter. It says you are resigning, gives the date, thanks them for what you choose to mention, offers help with the handover, and stops. You read it, change what you like, and send it yourself.
It only uses what you give it. It will not add a reason for leaving, a thank-you you did not mention, or a promise you did not make. It does not work out your notice period for you, so check your contract or ask HR for the right last day before you fill it in.
What makes it work
A resignation letter is a record, not a conversation. The best ones are short and leave the door open. This tool is set up for that: the facts first, a little warmth, and nothing you might regret later.
- Put the exact last day. A clear date saves a round of emails. Check it against your contract first.
- Thank them for something real, if you want to. One specific line, like who trained you, lands better than a general "thank you for everything".
- Offer one concrete handover step. Writing up your work or training a replacement shows you are leaving properly.
An example
Asked for a letter to a manager called Priya, from a customer support lead whose last day is Friday 30 October, with thanks for training them and backing them for the lead role, and an offer to write up processes and train whoever takes over, a letter along these lines is what to expect:
Dear Priya,
I'm writing to let you know that I'm resigning from my role as customer support lead. My last working day will be Friday 30 October.
Thank you for training me when I joined and for backing me for the lead role. I'm grateful for both.
Before I go, I'll write up my processes and train whoever takes over.
Best wishes,
No reasons it was not given, no complaints. If you want it more formal or shorter, ask in the chat and it rewrites it.
Common questions
Is the resignation letter generator free?
Yes. Hemmingway has a free trial with no card needed, and this tool opens it with your answers filled in. You sign up once, and the letter is written in the chat.
Should I say why I'm leaving?
You do not have to. The letter leaves reasons out unless you add them. If you want to mention a new job or a move, say so in the chat and it will add one plain line. The resignation letter guide covers when that helps.
Can it tell me my notice period?
No. Notice depends on your contract and where you work, so check with your contract or HR. Do not use Hemmingway for legal or money decisions.
Does it send the letter for me?
No. It writes the letter and you send it yourself, by email or on paper. Hemmingway runs on Mac, Windows, Android and the web, and your chats are never used for training.
