Re: Two Weeks Notice
Dear Sarah,

Please accept this letter as my formal two weeks notice. My last day of work will be Friday, November 7, 2026.

Thank you for the opportunity to be part of the team. I have learned a great deal here and am grateful for your support and guidance.

During the next two weeks, I will do everything I can to make the transition smooth, including finishing my current projects and training my replacement. Please let me know how I can help.

I wish you and the team continued success.

Sincerely,
Jane Doe
