A lot of companies now have a pre written form that basically you just put in the essential details such as name and breif reason why your leaving. The they may ask for an exit interview to determine if the reason is something they can change to prevent other staff from leaving. I am currently in the same position. I have wrote a really crappy letter telling them how it is just so when I write the real one my anger is out on paper already and I might get a good reference for being pleasant. I would simply state, Dear ..., please accept this notice as my resignation from (date) and sign it - you need not offer any explanation as to why you want to leave but if they ask tell them the truth, often if you are valuable to them they will offer you something to try and keep you and if they don't your better off looking for something else anyway. Its not a nice thing to have to do but its better than being sacked!!!

It should look like a regular letter. To start, you should put the bosses name:
Mr/Ms XYZ,
I am tendering my resignation to XYZ company because of (insert reasons here). My end date will be (2 wks from date of letter).
I apologize for any inconvenience this may cause the company, but I am more than willing to train my successor in the duties of the job.
I have enjoyed my time here and will miss the comraderie (or whatever you want to say) of the company.
I hope that I will be given a great recommendation for my new position. (leave this out if you have the recommendation in writing)
Thank you for taking the time to bring me into the company and making me a useful part of the organization.
Sincerely,
Your Name
Or you could go to careerbulders.com and look at their information. Good luck!!

First of all, have another job to go to.
Only then you can begin your resignation letter (if they don't beat you to the punch because they already know you are leaving).
You can say something like: Dear Mr. Sonso (your boss), after much thought I've decided to take another job with higher income (closer to home; in my specialty, etc.) and I wanted to give you my two weeks notice; I'll be leaving Friday, September ?, 2006. I didn't want to leave you high and dry so if there is anything additional you wanted me to do before I go, let me know.
I would appreciate if you would kindly provide for me a letter of recommendation which would include the dates of my employ, last salary, job description, and any additional comments you would like to make with regard to my work ethics, sick time taken, method of working, and your personal comments.
I enjoyed working at (name company) and have gained much knowledge and experience working for you which will be beneficial for me in the future. Thank you for everything.
cordially

If you liked the job at all or if the employee has done no wrong start by mentioning the good parts of your job, shifting to the reason why you must leave. Don't make it too long, a half a page should do.

Well, somewhat depends on the reasons for your departure, can you give any hints?
I have written several for varied reasons.
In general, make it brief and to the point and very business-like, best to not burn any bridges. And DO give the proper amount of notice, typically two weeks, more for some specialized jobs.

Tell them that you are resigning and the end date; tell them how much you enjoyed and learned for your times with them; tell them that you are leaving as new opportunites have ocurred/
Be nice, you never know when you may need them
