Basically, a resignation letter is considered a short formal letter that is written with the intention of ending an employment contract.

Here you state your intention to quit your job and when it should take effect. 

There could be many reasons why you are deciding to quit your current job, most of them could be personal reasons, you want to go back to study (i.e. back to school), have a new job opportunity, a family emergency, etc., however, you are not obliged to let your employer know the specific reason why you are leaving.

Moreover, when submitting your resignation letter, remember to keep it brief and straight to the point, include only positive comments, submit your letter in advance or considering your employers notice period (i.e. 1 month or 2 weeks’ notice) and clearly stating your last day of employment.

Thank you employer for the opportunity, offer assistance within the transition, ask any questions you may have and close your letter.

As you see, it is supposed to stay brief and simple.

Dear Mrs. Augustine,

I must regretfully inform you of my resignation from the Beardall Senior Center. My last day will be August 20th.

Working at the Senior Center has been one of my favorite jobs I’ve had and I couldn’t have asked for a better group of people to work alongside. Thank you for being so understanding about my family situation and constructing a schedule that allows me to be home for my children as much as possible.

I hope you don’t have any issues in finding a replacement. I’m sure you won’t as you are an excellent supervisor and a wonderful person.

If there’s anything I can do to help, please let me know.

Sincerely,
