A letter of resignation is a formal letter to your manager or human resources that states you are resigning and includes information about when you will be leaving the organization. Resignation letters also typically include a reason for leaving and words of thanks. An offer to help your boss with the transition of your responsibilities is also commonplace.

How you ask for a letter of recommendation is important because you need to ask in a way that maximizes your chances of getting the best possible reference for your job, internship, graduate school, or scholarship application.
Ask specifically for a strong recommendation—this helps to signal that the potential recommender should decline if they feel they’ll only be able to write you a generic or weak letter.
Provide helpful context such as details of the opportunity, submission deadline, and suggestions for what to include in the letter.
Ask in a way that’s respectful and convincing without being pushy.
