Dear Ms Helen Ward,
Please accept this letter as formal notice of my resignation from my position as Junior designer. In line with my notice period of 4 weeks, my last working day will be 28 November 2026.
Please include payment for any holiday I have accrued but not taken in my final pay, and send me my P45.
I would be grateful for a reference.
Thank you for the opportunities I have had. I will help to hand over my work smoothly.
Yours sincerely,
Priya Sharma
