everyone else seemed to be leaving for a better job. I would be leaving because I found out some things about the company that make it uncomfortable for me to work here any longer. What I found out has the potential of being something that could be blamed on me even though I wasn't here (on vacation) when it happened. Do I just say "thanks for the experience, but it's time for me to move on" or do I need to give my reason for leaving?

The best thing to do is always leave with an option to return if necessary.
Submit something along the lines of:
Re: Resignation
Dear So and So:
While I have enjoyed working with you during the time of my employment with X company; I hereby tender my resignation effective X date (make sure it is 2 weeks from the date of the letter), in order to pursue other opportunities that have been presented to me.
Respectfully,

I just went through a similar situation, gave my supervisor the resignation letter last week.
Keep it short and simple. "Thank you for having me as part of your team" that kinda thing. I don't think you need to give a reason for leaving. You can go through reasons during the exit interview (assuming your company has one). The letter is gonna be on file, you don't want to write something that could be misinterpreted in the future.
Hope that helps.

Just keep it short and sweet. Don't give a reason. Something like...
Dear so and so, I will be leaving the company as of (always give 2 weeks). Thank you very much for the opportunity.
You may need a reference one day. Also, since I assume they will be on your resume, a future employer might call them. So you want to leave on good terms.

If you feel that you must leave the organization because you no longer feel comfortable working for it, then maybe you should tell the reason. Change can only happen if someone speaks up. If you are already willing to resign, maybe you should be that person.

You do not have to give any reason for leaving. What you write will be permanently written, so it's better to just be general and generic. Say something like you're moving on to other opportunities.
Don't put anything in writing that you can't back up with proof.

Maybe just put: As of (current day), I will be resigning from my position........
Type in "resignation letter" into the Google search engine. You'll have more sample letters than you've ever dreamed possible.

basicly what you said in your question. a letter thanking them for the experience and you are moving on up. its basically a two weeks notice of proper protocal. by being polite in the letter keeping a copy it makes you look good and no one has to know why your leaving.
