Use formal language and try your best to be polite.  \nCheck your employment contract to find out how much notice you need to give your employer. If your employment contract specifies a two-week notice period, you must state this in your resignation letter and hand it in two weeks before you plan to stop working.  \nIf you’re not sure what your notice period should be, you can contact the Federal Government's Fair Work Ombudsman on 13 13 94, or Job Watch on 9662 1933 or 1800 331 617.  \nMake sure you keep a copy of your resignation letter for your records.  \nTip – It’s important to get the dates right in your resignation letter. If any dispute arises over the timing of your resignation you’ll have this letter as proof that you gave the right amount of notice.  \nYour resignation letter should include:  \n· A statement of your intention to resign that includes the last date you’ll be working for the organisation  \n· A short explanation of why you’re leaving  \n· Something positive about your experiences in the job and with the organisation (e.g. the opportunity to gain experience or develop your skills)  \n· If you want to you could offer to help make your resignation easier for the organisation ([e.g. you](e.g. you) could offer to train somebody else to do your job)  \n· You can write a short thank you at the end if you think it’s appropriate  \nCheck out our Jobs & Careers section for more tips and advice about resigning and quitting.  \n12 Station Street HIGHFIELD VIC 3023 Mobile: XXXX XXX XXX  \nemail: [jane@asdfghjkl.com](jane@asdfghjkl.com)  \nMartin Burn  \nHuman Resources Manager Roving Multimedia  \n256 Little Street HIGHFIELD VIC 3023  \n1 August 2012  \nDear Mr Burn  \nI am writing to inform you of my decision to resign from my position as Youth Affairs Journalist for Roving Multimedia.  \nAs required by my employment contract I am giving two weeks’ notice, effective today.
