Keep the letter short and factual
A good resignation letter states that you resign, confirms your last day or notice period as you provide it, and stays respectful. It is not the place for long complaints. For a full walkthrough of resigning in Pakistan before a Gulf move, see our resignation letter guide.
How much notice do you actually need to give?
In Pakistan, permanent employees are typically subject to a one-month minimum under the Industrial and Commercial Employment (Standing Orders) Ordinance, 1968 and related labour rules — or one month’s pay in lieu — but your written contract may require longer (30, 60 or 90 days). In the UAE and Saudi Arabia, notice is usually set in your employment contract and company policy. Always check your contract and local HR rules before you submit the letter.

Sincerely,

Frequently asked questions
Is the resignation letter tool free?
Yes — creating and downloading a PDF letter is free with no login required. Sign up for a free account to save your letter and export it as DOCX.
Can I use it for a UAE or Saudi employer?
Yes — enter the notice period and last working day that match your specific contract and situation.
Should I negotiate benefits in the letter?
No — keep the letter itself simple and factual. Handle any benefit or notice-period negotiation as a separate conversation with your manager or HR, ideally before you submit the formal letter.
What is the legal minimum notice period in Pakistan?
For permanent employees, Pakistan’s Industrial and Commercial Employment (Standing Orders) Ordinance, 1968 and related labour frameworks commonly treat one month as the standard minimum — or one month’s pay in lieu of notice. Your actual contract may specify longer, so check it first.
