Your resignation letter follows you. Here is what you must never include.

1. Complaints About Your Manager or Colleagues

No matter how justified, save grievances for an exit interview if at all.

2. Details About Your New Job

Do not mention your new employer, salary, or role.

3. Negative Comments About the Company

Keep it neutral or positive, regardless of your experience.

4. Ultimatums or Demands

Your resignation letter is a professional notice, not a negotiating tool.

5. Overly Emotional Language

Keep it measured, professional, and brief.
