What should I include in a two weeks notice letter?

State your resignation clearly, include your last working day (exactly 14 days out), express gratitude for the opportunity, and offer to help train your replacement or transition your work.

Is two weeks notice legally required?

In most US states, two weeks notice is a professional courtesy, not a legal requirement. However, check your employment contract — some roles require 30 days or more. Giving proper notice protects your professional reputation.

Yes. CraftMyLetter AI generates a polished, professional two weeks notice letter in about 30 seconds. Just fill in your details and the AI crafts a gracious resignation that maintains your professional relationships.

Should I explain why I'm leaving in my two weeks notice?
