It's time to quit the job, and you're not giving two weeks' notice. Here's how to politely write a resignation letter, effective immediately.The employer is required to accept your resignation, but doesn't have to accept the offer of 2-weeks. A twoweek notice period is standard, but not required. You can give however many weeks worth of notice that you feel is appropriate. This letter announces your intent to resign from the company and says you will remain in your position for another two weeks before leaving. Giving a two week notice isn't required; it is merely a professional courtesy. Most people plan to quit a job very carefully. Just keep it short and sweet. Don't go into story telling mode.
