Resignation letter template: relocation resignation

Moving to another city or country where continuing in the role is not practical.

The template ยท fill every [bracketed placeholder]

Dear [Manager name], I am writing to resign from my position as [Role] at [Company]. I am relocating to another city for personal reasons, and since the move makes continuing in the role impractical, my last working day will be [Last working day]. This decision was driven by geography rather than by any wish to leave the work or the team. I have valued my time here, and I am leaving with real appreciation for what we built together. Before I go, I will prepare complete handover notes, close out what can be closed, and make myself available to train whoever picks up my responsibilities. If a short period of remote availability after my move would help the transition, I am open to discussing it. Thank you for your understanding and for the support you have shown me throughout. Sincerely, [Your name]

Handing it in

  • If remote work could preserve the role, raise that conversation before you hand in the letter.
  • Give as much notice as the move allows, relocation departures rarely surprise anyone.
  • Confirm where your final paycheck and tax documents should be sent after the move.

Check your actual contract for the notice period before naming a last day; documents beat folklore. The conversation with your manager comes before the letter, always.
