When you leave a job on good terms with your employer, you may often feel like recommending a replacement to fill the position that you’d be vacating. Replacement recommendation has dual benefits: you will be getting your friend or acquaintance a job (for which he/she will be grateful to you), and you employer will be happy to know that you still care for the company. But how does recommendation go with a resignation letter? You may ask. Well, here’s how you do it.

Dear [Your Boss Name],

It is with regret that I have to inform you of my decision to resign from my job with the company with effect from [date], which will be my last working day in this esteemed organization.

Yours Sincerely,
