Two Weeks Notice Letter Template (Free, Copy & Paste)

Three fill-in-the-blank templates below. Fields in [brackets] are placeholders. Replace them with your actual details. Prefer auto-fill? Use the free generator to have your last day calculated automatically.

How to Use These Templates

Each template follows the same simple process:

  1. Copy the template text using the button in the top-right corner of the card.
  2. Paste it into your word processor, email client, or notes app.
  3. Replace every [bracketed field] with your actual information.
  4. Calculate your last working day: today's date + 14 calendar days. If it lands on a Saturday or Sunday, use the following Monday.
  5. Review the completed letter once before sending.

For the reason, stick to neutral and forward-looking language. "Pursuing new opportunities," "personal reasons," and "a career change" are all appropriate. You are not required to give a specific reason.
