You can either hand in your resignation in person or send it by email.
Writing a well-crafted resignation email isn't just a formality of moving on from a job. It's an opportunity to leave on positive terms and maintain a professional relationship with your previous employer. You never know how your paths might cross again in the future, and you may want to use them as a resumé reference.
You could resign purely over email, but it's not the best option. It's better to speak with your manager face-to-face or in an online meeting before emailing them about your resignation. This is more respectful and helps ensure you maintain a good relationship with the company.
It may be better to do so in person so your manager can acknowledge receipt of the letter there and then, but if that's not possible there is not a problem with resigning by email.
