Dear [Principal's Name],

I am writing to formally resign from my position as [Grade/Subject] Teacher at [School Name], effective [Last Working Day Date].

Due to personal circumstances requiring my attention, I must step away from my teaching position. This decision was made after careful consideration of my personal situation.

Thank you for your understanding and support. I wish you and the entire school community continued success.

Sincerely,

[Your Signature]
