Yesterday I gave my two weeks notice along with my letter of resignation. The letter stated that my last day would be September 11th.Write a letter of resignation giving your notice term, then hand it to your manager in person with a polite and professional explanation. Most of the US is "right to work", where there are no contracts. Employers aren't required to give notice and "two weeks notice" is just common courtesy. The trick with a two weeks' notice letter is keeping it simple. When you're so new, the obligations around notice are different. Are employees legally obligated to provide two weeks notice before quitting their current job. The short answer is, "No.". You have documented that you chose to leave (were not fired) and that you did provide 2 weeks (or whatever amount) notice of your departure.
