Example output

Hi Raj,

I'm writing to let you know I'll be resigning from my Senior Engineer role at Acme. My last working day will be Friday, 28 February 2026.

I've decided to join an early-stage company where I'll be leading the engineering team — a chance I wasn't actively looking for, but one I couldn't say no to once the conversations started.

Leaving wasn't easy. The last two years here have been the most I've ever stretched as a builder, and the work we did on the payment-service rewrite is something I'll point to for the rest of my career. Thank you for trusting me with it.

I'd like to make the transition smooth. I'll spend the next two weeks documenting the payment service end-to-end and training Anita on the on-call rotation. If there's anything else you'd find useful, just let me know.

Best, Ashish
