This is what I have but I feel like it's a little too wordy. Can you help me rephrase it? Thanks!

"In order to assist you during this transition, I have arranged with my new boss to return for a couple of days to train the new employee."

I want him to understand that I cannot stay until he hires a new person (like person who previously held my position)

I hope you didn't get yourself into a sticky legal situation. Even if you live a employement at will state you may have put yourself in a predicament. At my last job as part of my contract was a clause saying that if I chose to quit, retire or resign I must give two weeks notice. Also failure to do so resulted in the returning of my signing bonus and other penalties. But here is how I would rephrase your letter. "I will unfortunately will be unable to stay on until a replacement is found, but have made arrangments to return for two days to train my replacement." Good luck.

try = to help with the transition, I have arranged to return for a few days to train the new employee and will then turn over the reigns.

"Although I wish to resign as of {insert date} I am prepared and have sought permission from my new employer to return to this office to assist my replacement employee in training for my current position for a maximum of 2 days"

You may need to change this around a bit because obviously I don't know the details but that is how I would word it.

As soon as u put in a letter for a two week notice. U have already made a decision to only work for two weeks. Two week notice is to tell the empolyer that you are leaving them and that they have only two more weeks to find someone if not then thats is on them... u did ur part. After that two week is up... say good bye! ( u dont owe them anything but that two week notice.

"In order to assist you during this transition, I will stay for two more weeks. Consider this my two weeks notice."

The idea that u are leaving for a new job isn't so great for your employer. Remember... you want to leave on good terms because you maybe using them as reference.

How about: While I can not stay until the position can be filled I will be able to return a couple of days to train my replacement.
