Sample Resignation Letter Due to Illness & Medical Reasons

A person could become so ill that he is no longer able to perform his duties towards his employer. This may be temporary or permanent in nature. An employer may not allow a very long period of leave because of the sickness of the employee.

While some employees resign from their position, some are asked to furnish their resignation by the employer. The employer may suo moto terminate the services of the employee in such a case.

If you are facing some critical health issues and want to resign, here is a format of illness resignation letter due to health issues. Modify it appropriately as necessary.
