When it’s time to leave your job, it’s key to do so on good terms. It’s good for keeping up your work friends and for how people think of you at work. A normal way to say you’re leaving is by a serious email, saying you’ll leave in two weeks. Writing this email needs care, being very clear, and being polite to make sure both you and the boss part ways without trouble. Here are clear steps to send a good two weeks’ notice email.
Start with a nice “Hi [Your Boss’s Name]” or “To the Person in charge” to greet the person who will read your email. If you write to your boss or the HR team, do it as your work place likes it done.
In the first set of words, tell them straight that you are leaving and when is your last day. This tells your boss when they need to have someone else to do your job. Keep it short and do not put in too much about why you’re leaving.
Say “thank you” for what you got from working there. Talk about what you learned, the skills you got, and the people you met, even if it was not always easy. This shows you are a good worker and makes them think well of you as you go.
Tell your boss you will help a lot to move from you to the next worker. Say you can help train someone new, write down what you do, or help in other ways. This shows you are a team person and care about your job until the last day.
Write down how they can get to you if they need to ask you things or need more info. You might give them your own email and your phone number, so they can talk to you even after you leave.
Finish your email with a nice touch. Say again you are thankful and that you hope they do well going forward. Close it off with a kind “Yours truly” or “All the best” and then your whole name.
Check your email one more time for mistakes in words, grammar, or if something is not easy to get. A clean email shows you are a true professional. When you’re happy with your words, send it to the right people.
Sending in a two weeks’ notice email is a tidy and needed way to say you’re out. By doing these things and making a good and careful email, you can make going away smoother and keep up good ties with your old boss and work friends. Be clear, straight, and kind in your words, making a professional mark as you move on to new work.
