If you are going to retire soon you must let your current employer know about your situation.
Your letter should be nice and in a proper way.
Remember they give a job for years and years and you want to say good bye in a kind way!
Write your letter as soon as you know about your day of retirement so your employer can find somebody else for your position.
Have a good retirement!

Very good examples there. Something I hadnt thought of (not that i’m due to retire any time soon lol). Obviously the employer will know that your retirement age is approaching anyway, but i guess the exact date is down to the person directly?
