In short
A resignation letter (राजीनामा पत्र) tells your employer in writing that you are leaving and from which date. It states your post, your last working day, that you will serve the notice period in your appointment letter and hand over your work, and it asks for the resignation to be accepted. A reason is optional. Give it to your manager or HR in person and keep a copy signed with the date it was received.
A राजीनामा पत्र tells your employer in writing that you are leaving, and from which day. It goes into your personnel file and is read again whenever someone asks for a reference, so it is short, clear and polite. Fill in your post, your last working day and your notice period, and the letter is written in Nepali or English.

राजीनामा पत्र लेख्ने तरिका — what it says
That you are resigning, and from which post. Plainly, in the first lines: मिति … देखि लागू हुने गरी आफ्नो पदबाट राजीनामा दिएको छु।
Your last working day. A date, counted from the day you hand the letter in and your notice period.
Notice and handover. That you will work the notice period and hand over your work, files and anything of the organisation's that you hold.
Thanks. One sentence. It costs nothing and it is what a future reference is written from.
What you ask for. That the resignation be accepted, and usually an experience letter and the settlement of salary and benefits still owed.
Each of the last three can be switched off in the form. The reason is optional: one clause such as व्यक्तिगत कारणले is enough, and no reason at all is acceptable.
Notice period in Nepal
Your notice period is written in your appointment letter or employment contract, and that is the number to put in the letter. Nepal's Labour Act sets a minimum that rises with how long you have worked, and many contracts ask for more; thirty days is the common figure once you are past probation.
Count your last working day from the date the employer receives the letter, not the date you wrote it. Hand it over in person, and ask for a signature or a stamp with the date on your own copy.
If you cannot serve the full notice, say so and ask for it to be shortened. The resignation letter format guide has the wording for an immediate resignation and one for a teacher.
What to collect before your last day
An experience letter stating your post and the dates you worked. If your employer asks you to draft it, the experience letter tool makes one on their letterhead.
Your final settlement: salary to the last day, unused leave where your terms pay it out, and festival allowance in proportion.
Provident fund or Social Security Fund records, and a tax (TDS) statement for the year.
A copy of this letter with the date it was received.
What to leave out
Complaints, names, and a long explanation. If there is something the organisation should hear, say it in a meeting. The letter is the record that you left properly, and it is the page a future employer may one day be shown.
