Your letter

[Date of this letter]

To: [Employer's name]

Subject: Resignation of [Your full name]

Dear Sir or Madam,

I am resigning from my role at [Employer's name].

As Article 44 of Law No. 6 of 2010 sets for a monthly-paid worker, I am giving you three months' notice in writing.

Before my last day I will hand my work over and give back anything that belongs to the company.

Please pay everything owed to me on leaving, including any indemnity due, promptly after my last working day.

Please confirm in writing that you received this letter.

Yours faithfully, [Your full name]

What each line does

[Date of this letter]: Your notice runs from this date, so keep a copy that shows it.
To: [Employer's name]: Address it to the company that employs you, as named on your contract.
Subject: Resignation of [Your full name]: A plain subject line makes the letter easy to find later.
Dear Sir or Madam,: A neutral greeting works when you do not know who will log it.
I am resigning from my role at [Employer's name].: One clear sentence. A resignation that hedges invites argument about whether you resigned at all.
As Article 44 of Law No. 6 of 2010 sets for a monthly-paid worker, I am giving you three months' notice in writing.: Monthly-paid, open-ended contract: at least 3 months' written notice (Art. 44). If your contract sets more, enter it above.
Before my last day I will hand my work over and give back anything that belongs to the company.: It shows you mean to leave cleanly, which helps when you ask for your final pay.
Please pay everything owed to me on leaving, including any indemnity due, promptly after my last working day.: Ask PAM when your final pay is due. Asking for it in writing gives you a date to point to.
Please confirm in writing that you received this letter.: Proof of the date you gave notice is your best protection if dates are disputed later.
Yours faithfully, [Your full name]: Sign the printed copy as well, and keep one for yourself.

With a start date, the letter adds the day you joined. With a last working day, it names it, and asks for written agreement if it comes before the notice ends.

The notice rule behind it

Article 44 of Law No. 6 of 2010 lets either side end an open-ended contract with written notice: 3 months for a monthly wage, 1 month for other pay.

Whoever skips it pays the other side the wage for the notice period. During probation, either side may end the contract without notice (Art. 32).

A fixed-term contract ended early follows Article 47 instead.

Once the letter is in

Hand it over against a signature and keep a dated copy.
Ask PAM when your final pay is due, and ask your employer for the date in writing.
Claims your employer denies are not heard 1 year after the contract ends (Art. 144).
