I joined this job assuming the best company and best environment possible. Though it was good at the beginning. But slowly the hostile environment in the company made me resign from my job. Though it is a hard decision for me to make, I cannot stay in such a type of environment. This is my dream job that turned out to be the most effective part of leading a stressful life. I entered with a lot of expectations to the company and environment but never in the last few months can find a peaceful environment. I was stressed a lot. I don’t want to name the persons In making such type of environment but I wish you would surely look into this matter and make some other person’s life easy and happy. Make sure you make them stress-free and penalty and action on employees causing this type of environment.
I apologize for the inconvenience provided by my resigning in this respective Xxxxxxxx position. If you further want to talk to me about this matter please contact me on Xxxxxxxx number. But I feel glad to get some quality time. Though I am feeling uncomfortable doing this I couldn’t stay in such a type of environment.

Example 2:
Dear XXXX,
I wrote this letter with a lot of emotion. I Want to retire from your company. Even though I bought it, I don’t want the unhealthy conditions to make me resign from the job. Even I put this point in front of my seniors many times but I didn’t get enough response from them. My work quality is affected as I was working with a group of people who were not behaving well and maturely. Xxxxxxxx This date is going to be my last working day in the company. I made my decision strongly.
That not only decreases my quality of work but makes me nervous and stressed. Indirectly into depression. So I want to resign from the best Institute. I made my point and tried to resolve the issues for many years but all those turned into ashes. I am glad to get experience from such a highly reputed company. It would be very great if you make my resignation as fast as possible. And made my point perfectly and don’t think I am going to change my brain at any moment.
I want to move on from this situation. Thank you for taking the time to read my resignation letter.
Thank you,
Sincerely
Xxxxxxxx

Example 3: Hostile work environment due to the promotion I got
Dear Xxxxx,
I am sending this letter to inform you about my resignation. I am resigning from my job because of the hostile environment that was created by my colleagues because of my promotion. As soon as I received my promotion they started creating an unhealthy environment. That made me get into depression which is not at all good for my health. I don’t think so it is going to be a good option. I made my decision strongly I don’t want to come back and work again in the company. I have complained to seniors about this issue many times but I never got an ending solution to it. Even I tried many times to resolve the issue but no one cared about it so I want to resign. Xxxxxxxxxx this date is going to be my last working day in the company. I don’t want to continue in such a type of environment and want to take my step back from the company. If you want to contact me again, call this number. We will meet in our free time and discuss more this issue and let you know the problems I faced in the company for the past 1year. I am happy for spending my quality time in this company except that I never had a problem in your company. And I am sorry for the inconvenience that was created by me due to my resignation.
Thank you for giving your time.
Yours sincerely

Example 4:
Dear sir,
I hereby write this letter to inform you about my resignation. I am resigning because of the environment that was created. It is very hard in writing a letter. Most importantly resigning because of the hostile environment is very hard to digest. My work from the last few weeks has decreased in quality. I cannot concentrate on my work due to the type of verbal misuse they did. Providing a calm and healthy environment is required in an organization.
The hostile behavior increased a lot after my promotion. That made me feel bad and respectively made me to depressed. I ask you to accept this decision. I feel bad for the inconvenience followed by my resignation. I am unfortunate and cannot stay in that type of situation that made me resign. Although it’s a tough decision, it’s very hard for a person who loves his job to leave it for the sake of one person or because of his ill character.
Yours sincerely
W.John

Showing your bad side is never a good idea that doesn’t matter if you are leaving the company is not. You don’t know what’s next so write your letter politely and most importantly every important point must be written perfectly. So you just need to be polite. It will be a better choice if you are lined up with another job. It’s better not to stay in a hostile environment. That is going to affect you and your home life a lot.
After receiving your letter, if your boss wants another talk with you, make sure you have a talk with him and explain the situation perfectly and completely. Ask him to give his opinion on the issue and also make sure you make a contract with your boss about this issue and don’t take your step forward until he solves the issue.
Hope you solve this issue and have a happy life.
