In short
To write a resignation letter, enter the date you joined, your notice period and your last working day, and the builder writes a polite, formal letter in English or Arabic. It uses your job title and contact details from your resume, and downloads as a PDF ready to sign.
A resignation letter is the written notice that you are leaving your job. It starts your notice period, fixes your last working day, and stays in your personnel file, where future employers may hear about it in a reference check. A short, professional letter protects your end-of-service rights and your reputation, whatever the reason you are leaving.
A good resignation letter does four things: it states clearly that you are resigning from a named position, gives the last working day in line with your contract, thanks the employer without long explanations, and offers a proper handover. It does not criticise your manager or colleagues and it does not need to explain where you are going next.
The builder offers two versions. The standard letter works your full notice period. The second asks the employer to shorten or waive the notice, which is common when a new employer needs you to start sooner, and promises to work the full period if the request is refused. Both are available in English and in formal Arabic used across the Gulf.
How to write your resignation letter
Step 1: Choose the type of resignation
Pick the standard letter with a full notice period, or the letter that asks to shorten the notice.
Step 2: Enter your dates
Add the date you joined, your notice period in days as written in your contract, and your last working day.
Step 3: Add the company and check the letter
Type the company and, if you like, your manager’s name. The letter updates as you type, and you can edit any sentence.
Step 4: Download, sign and submit
Download the PDF, sign it, and hand it to your manager or send it by email, keeping a copy with the date you submitted it.

Your resignation stays private until you send it
Many people prepare a resignation before telling anyone at work, sometimes on a work laptop. This builder runs entirely in your browser: your name, employer and dates are never uploaded, and the PDF is created on your device.
Your draft is saved only in this browser’s local storage, and only after you change something, so you can come back to it later on the same device. There is no account and no cookie. On a shared or company computer, press Start blank when you finish.
When to use this resignation letter
- You accepted a new job offer and need to give formal notice.
- Your new employer wants you sooner and you need to ask for a shorter notice period.
- You are leaving to study, relocate or care for family.
- You need the letter in Arabic for a Gulf employer and in English for an international one.
- HR asked for a signed resignation letter to process your final settlement.
Frequently asked questions
How much notice should a resignation letter give?
Give the notice period in your employment contract. In the Gulf, contracts commonly set 30 or 60 days. If you are unsure, check your contract or the labour law of your country before you choose the last working day, because leaving early can affect your end-of-service payment.
Do I have to give a reason for resigning?
No. A reason is optional and a short letter is usually better. If you mention one, keep it neutral, such as a new opportunity or personal circumstances, and avoid complaints.
Can I ask to leave before the notice period ends?
Yes, by asking politely. Choose the version that asks to shorten the notice, give the date you hope to leave, and confirm you will work the full period if the employer does not agree.
Should I submit my resignation by email or on paper?
Follow your company’s policy. Many employers accept a signed PDF by email; others want a signed paper copy for HR. Keep proof of the date you submitted it, because the notice period starts then.
Can I write my resignation letter in Arabic?
Yes. Switch the letter language to Arabic for a formal letter in the style used in Saudi Arabia, the UAE and the wider Gulf, with an option to add the Hijri date. Arabic letters are saved through your browser’s print dialog so the letters join correctly.
Is the resignation letter builder free?
Yes. It is free, with no watermark, no sign-up and no limit on downloads.
Which browsers does it work in?
Current versions of Chrome, Edge, Firefox, Safari and Samsung Internet on desktop, Android and iPhone. JavaScript must be enabled because the letter is built on your device.
