OK I know this sounds really daft but what do you write when handing in your notice?

[Sidge]

A little premature of me maybe, but I have a job interview on Friday and am hoping to get it and so had in my notice ASAP (nothing like a bit of positivity!)

Anyway I've never had to hand in my notice before and would have no idea how to go about it. Do you just write a letter to your manager? Do you copy it to HR? What do you need to include?

Thanks in advance

Dear (whoever)

Please accept this letter as notice of my resignation from the post of _

My last day of work will be

I have enjoyed working at _ and would like to thank you for the support and training you have given me during my employment.

Sincerely
