In this brief guide, we will look at how one might write a resignation letter due to transfer.

Resignation Letter Due to Transfer

To write a resignation letter due to transfer, you need to write down all the details that you need to tell your employer, like when you are leaving, if you can serve your notice period, where you might be reached after you are gone, and so on.

One need not go into full details of why they are transferring or be overly sentimental about the need to leave, but they may mention that they will miss working in their current office and talk about the fact that they learned a lot.

A resignation letter due to transfer may be written because someone is getting married and moving away, or because their family is shifting to another city.

A resignation letter due to transfer may also be written when the person has found better employment in another city, in which case it is their prerogative whether they want to mention the new job or not.

As with most other resignation letters, the resignation letter due to transfer will also contain some basic elements like:

  • Date
  • Subject
  • Names and addresses of sender and receiver
  • Reason for leaving (In some detail)
  • Experience at the current job
  • Positive words about the period of employment
  • Offer for help during the transition
  • Contact details and notice period information

A resignation letter due to transfer may be sent directly to the supervisor or employer, but in some companies, a copy may also be sent to the human resources department.

One may also be moving to another branch or another part of the company, but that letter usually will not be sent to HR, and will certainly not include much information about what the person enjoyed and what they might miss and so on.
