## Prompt

```text
Help me resign well.

**My role and company:** [ROLE, TEAM]
**Notice period and last day:** [DATES]
**Reason (only what I want to share):** [e.g. new opportunity, relocation, personal]
**Relationship with my manager:** [good / neutral / strained]
**Things to hand over:** [projects, clients, systems]

Give me:
1. **Resignation letter** — short, gracious, factual: last day, thanks, offer to help with the transition. No complaints, no over-explaining.
2. **Talking points** for telling my manager in person or on a call, including how to respond if they make a counteroffer or ask why.
3. **Handover plan** — a checklist of what to document and who needs to know what before I leave.
4. **Goodbye message** to colleagues for my last day.
```
