Subject: Resignation Letter Requesting a Shorter Notice Period

Dear Sir or Madam,

I am writing to resign from my position of Senior Accountant at Northwind Ltd.. My contract requires a notice period of 30 days, but because of a family function out of town I request that I be allowed to serve 15 days instead, with my last working day on 05/10/2026.

I am ready to complete a full handover and to discuss any arrangement that would make this easier for the team. Thank you for your understanding.

Yours faithfully,


Maria Garcia
