Lyn, I had to remove your resignation letter because we do not offer a critiquing service. It's also not a good idea to post it; your current employer might see it, and although that chance is small, what if you decided NOT to give your resignation? You asked also if including a "negative comment" in the letter is okay. I would advise you not to include anything negative in the letter. It's never a good idea to leave on a bad note. Give two week's notice, state when your last day of employment will be, and thank the employer for the job. End on a positive note. You never know when you may work with the same people again or when you may need to ask a former employer for a reference. Good luck with your job search.

Hi Cheska,

A one day notice is not recommended. The standard is two weeks. Even though you are not a regular employee, your service with the current employer will be part of your work history. Giving one day's notice could leave a blemish on that history that would come back to haunt you in the future when you're apply for a new job.

Hi, I would like to ask if 1 day notice resignation is ok. I'm not a regular employee of the company. Thanks a lot.

Hi Nola,

Communication via email is a valid, but not looked upon as profession in some business environments. Plus, you'll want proof that they received it. Keep hard copies of your email and their response. I'd also recommend sending a backup copy via regular mail as a follow up for their records.

Is it ethical to send a resignation letter from a job through company email? I recently resigned from my job and sent an email resignation to my superiors. I'm just wondering if that is truly ethical or not. It was extremely professional and nothing negative was mentioned. (and I could have written for hours on the horrible ethics of this company) Any comments would be appreciated. thanks.
