Should You Explain Why You Are Quitting?

You are not required to explain why you are resigning. Your letter needs to state that you are leaving and when — the reason is optional.

When It Makes Sense to Share

• You are leaving for a positive reason and want to maintain goodwill
• Your reason is health-related and explains the short notice

When to Keep It Private

• You are leaving because of management or workplace issues
• You are going to a direct competitor
• Your reason is deeply personal

How to Decline Without Being Rude

Simply write: I am resigning for personal reasons. This is professional and perfectly acceptable.
