Dear [Recipient's Name],
I hope this letter finds you well. It is with a heavy heart that I write to inform you of my decision to resign from my position at [Company's Name], effective [Last Working Day].
Recently, my family has encountered significant challenges that require my immediate and undivided attention. Specifically, [briefly describe the family situation, e.g., "my partner has been diagnosed with a serious illness and needs full-time support," or "we are in the process of relocating to be closer to our extended family due to urgent circumstances"]. These developments have made it clear that my priority must be to support my family during this critical period.
I have truly valued my time at [Company's Name] and the opportunities to grow both personally and professionally. The support and camaraderie of this team have been a source of great satisfaction and pride for me. However, after careful consideration, I believe that stepping away from my role is the most responsible course of action to meet my family's needs.
I am committed to making this transition as seamless as possible. I am prepared to assist with training a replacement and ensuring that my current projects are handed off smoothly. Please let me know how I can help facilitate this process.
Thank you for your understanding and for the incredible support I have received during my tenure here. I hope to remain in contact and wish the company continued success and growth in the future.
Warm regards,
[Your Name]
