Resignation Letter Due to Health and Stress

Letters Kate

To work efficiently, a person is required to have a healthy mind and a healthy body. If there is no coordination between the mind and body and the person doesn’t feel healthy physically or mentally, that person should be given a break from work. However, it entirely depends on that person whether he wants to take a break or not. Some people are strong enough to handle their stress and physical problems. However, at times, the problem increases to the extent that there is no option left but to resign.

What is a resignation letter due to health and stress?

If a person feels that he is not physically and mentally healthy, he can decide to quit his job and communicate his decision with his boss by writing a resignation letter. This type of resignation letter is always written because of health reasons. 

How to write a resignation letter due to health and stress?

Suppose you are trying to jot down a resignation letter that communicates your message and doesn’t ruin your relationship with your boss. In that case, you should try to write the resignation letter efficiently. If you are not able to do it right, you can follow the tips given below:

Express your gratitude:

It is a widespread perception that people leave when they feel unhappy about their jobs. However, this is not always the case. If you are going and want your boss to know that there is no such lousy reason in your head about leaving, you should show gratitude to your boss. Expressing gratitude is to make your letter look like a positive piece of writing. 

Now, the question is what you should be thankful for. Well, there are lots of such things you can be grateful for. For example, you can show gratitude for the opportunity your employer has given you to work in his company. The work experience in any organization matters a lot. You cannot thank your employer enough for the work opportunity he has provided you. You can find another job quickly based on your work experience. 

When you show gratitude, you keep the workplace doors open for you. If you want to return after a full recovery, you will have a good chance that your boss will employ you again.

Tell your boss that you are leaving with your own will:

When you resign, your boss might worry about this sudden decision. Therefore, you must make your boss believe via this letter that you are making an exit voluntarily, and no one has forced you to do that. You should also specify that no such factor at the workplace has compelled you to exit.

Give reason:

When you leave for poor health reasons and stress at home or the workplace, you should not be ashamed of giving this reason. Although it is not mandatory to provide a sense, you can give a reason to be clear as to why you are exiting. 

There is no need to be emotional while providing the reason. Mention that it has become difficult for you to perform your duties in the same way you used to perform earlier because of bad health. This is a sensible reason that your boss will immediately accept. Additionally, it shows that you are honest with your job, and when you feel that you are not doing justice with your career, you decide to quit.

Close the letter on a positive note:

Your resignation letter needs to be positive from start to end. When the beginning of the letter includes gratitude, the end should also include a positive statement. For example, you should wish your company and everyone working in the same company the best of luck for the future. This will make everyone keep their fingers crossed for you. At the end of the letter, you can again thank your employer for taking the time to read your letter.

Hello Ms. Jasmin

I am afraid you might find this letter surprising as it includes an upsetting news for the company. I have decided to quit and present to you my resignation.

On Thursday, dated [DATE], I discussed my personal matters involving my health concerns. I have been working in this position for seven years, which requires my attention and hard work to meet the deadlines. My personal life troubles and attention to work have put my health in decline. I recently have been diagnosed with [XYZ].

Keeping all this in mind and prioritizing my health, I quit. I hope you will understand and will help smooth the process. I will take care of the transition to be made as soon as possible.

Regards.

Miko Do.

Re. Resignation Notice due to Chronic Illness and Breaking Down into Stress

Dear Sir,

I am Allison Parker, the Assistant Manager in Gracehouse Industries in the Department of Administration and PMS. I have been working here since 2009 and completed my twelve years of working here in June. I have seen twelve springs of my life while staying a part of the Grace House team. Being a Gracehouse member has always been a matter of great success and esteem for me, professionally and personally.

This is very saddening to state that this letter will be submitted as a resignation notice. The notice is adequate from 25th March 20XX. I am sorry for not providing this notice prior, as I was a little baffled by the idea of resigning from the work. My doctor advised me to get hold of this decision as I am not fit to fulfill all the responsibilities at my job. I am suffering from Fibromyalgia, which gives me pain chronically in my skeleton muscles and yields issues with memory and mood due to sleep deprivation it brings.

Due to this disease, I am also going through a lot of stress as I am a single parent, and I have to look after everything related to my son, who is 5 years old. Moreover, I do not consider myself fit for the demanding job and do not want to get the company into trouble.

Thanks for all the love and appreciation.

Regards

Allison Parker
