How to write a two-week notice Address the letter. Include the date, company name, and the name of the person you are addressing the letter to, which in most cases will be your supervisor. State your resignation. Express your gratitude. Mention the next steps. End your letter.
While you may not be legally required to give notice, most employers expect a notice of two weeks or more to help them reassign your responsibilities and hire a new employee.
It's perfectly legal to quit without notice in the USA. You would likely be coded as ineligible for rehire in the old employer's HR system. You also are unlikely to get a good reference (but smart employers don't permit references good or bad). Of course, with any voluntary quit, you can't get unemployment insurance.
Most companies don't require official written notice before resigning from a position.
Of course, you should also have a letter, which is the most important part of the formal resignation process, but it is good practice, as well as courteous, to tell your boss face-to-face.
Please accept this letter as my formal resignation from my position as position name at company name, effective two weeks from today. My final day of employment will be date at least two weeks in the future. I would like to express my appreciation for my time with company name.
