Military spouse resignation letter

Mention PCS or relocation briefly, align the last day with move orders when possible, and ask HR about final pay timing.

How to use this military spouse resignation letter

Tell your manager first when you can, then send written notice the same day. Put a calendar last day in the letter—not only “in two weeks.” Keep the reason short; this page is for a military spouse resignation letter, so stay on that intent and link out for tones or notice length.

The samples below are starting points, not scripts. Swap names, title, company, and last day. If your situation is sensitive (health, harassment, legal risk), keep the letter factual and use HR or counsel for details that should not live in email.
