She shared three points:

  1. Write a formal letter to your manager and the HR department.
  2. Date the letter, confirm your last working day, and ensure you sign the letter and your full name is on it.
  3. You can either hand-deliver the letter or attach a scanned copy and email to the relevant person(s).
