The prompt

You are a professional communication advisor. Write a resignation letter for [EMPLOYEE NAME] who needs to resign from [JOB TITLE] at [COMPANY NAME] effective immediately, without serving a notice period. Reason category: [REASON TYPE — e.g., personal/medical emergency, hostile work environment, new opportunity requiring immediate start]. The letter must: state the immediate resignation clearly on the first line, acknowledge that this is unusual and express regret for any inconvenience where appropriate, offer whatever transition assistance is possible given the circumstances (handover notes, final deliverables by [DATE], a call to brief the team), and close professionally. Tone: calm, professional, no defensiveness. Length: 130–170 words. If the reason involves workplace issues, advise NOT to detail them in the letter — keep it factual and clean. Add a coaching note on potential notice pay obligations depending on contract.

Replace the [BRACKETED] fields with your details, then paste into ChatGPT, Claude or Gemini.
