The situation
You've accepted another offer and need to formally resign from your current role.
The goal
Resign gracefully without burning the bridge or over-explaining.
Draft (the wrong way)
Hey, so I've been thinking about this for a while and I got another offer so I think I'm going to take it, sorry to leave you hanging.
Parse-optimized draft
I'm writing to formally resign from my role as [title], with my last day on [date — two weeks from today]. I've genuinely valued my time here and the trust you've placed in me. Over the next two weeks I'll wrap up [project A], document [project B], and prepare a handover for whoever picks it up. Happy to sit down this week to align on priorities.
