Letter of resignation

3 November 2026

Rachel Lim
Marketing Director
Northwind Supply Co.

Dear Rachel,

Please accept this letter as formal notice of my resignation from my position as Content Marketing Manager at Northwind Supply Co. My last day of work will be Friday 28 November 2026, four weeks from today.

This was not an easy decision. I am grateful for the opportunities I have had here, especially leading the relaunch of our customer newsletter, which grew from 8,000 to 31,000 subscribers. Working with you and the team has helped me grow as a writer and as a manager, and I will take those lessons with me.

Transition plan

I want to make the handover as smooth as possible. Over the next four weeks I plan to:

  1. Finish the Q4 buyer's guide and hand the January issue to Priya
  2. Document our content calendar, freelancer contacts and the steps for each newsletter send
  3. Train whoever takes over on the CMS, the analytics dashboard and our style guide

If there is anything else I can do to help during this time, please let me know.

Thank you again for your support and guidance over the past three years. I hope we can stay in touch, and I wish you and the team continued success.

Sincerely,

Sam Whitaker
