In fact, when employees resign for personal reasons, that is often simply what the resignation letter states. Employees do not want their personal business known and recognize that the employment resignation letter is a permanent addition to their personnel file. The resigning employee might also share the information with Human Resources staff but state that the only documentation of their resignation that they want is their resignation letter in their personnel file. The contents of a personnel file, and consequently the details of their personal reasons for employment termination, may be reviewed by strangers in the future. This is why “personal reasons” is sufficient information in a letter of resignation. These are two examples of resignation letters that are proffered for personal reasons.
