Be short, sweet and to the point.
Dear (Landlord's name):
This letter is notice that effective _____ I am terminating my lease for (address). Please forward my security deposit to me at (new mailing address) no later than (date 30 days afterwards).
Sincerely,
Signature
That's all you need to say. Make sure you give notice at least 30 days ahead. If your lease expires on May 1 (for example), you've already missed the 30 days. If it expires on June 1, be sure you mail the notice in plenty of time ahead. If notice isn't given within 30 days ahead, that means it isn't effective until the beginning of the next month & you could have to pay for the month's rent you didn't mean to. It's always best to protect yourself by mailing it certified, return receipt, or use first class with delivery confirmation. That way you have proof that he received notice if you get into an argument about that before a judge.
Most states have various landlord-tenant laws (usually statutes you can find on-line) that control how much time the landlord must return your deposit or provide you with a written accounting (explanation) of how much they are keeping out of the deposit and why. Unfortunately, if your deposit isn't returned you'll most likely have to go to court to get the money back. Considering what you've written, I wouldn't be surprised if the LL doesn't even write you an explanation.
Good luck & enjoy your better place to live!

Say what needs to be said and as little else as possible. Give the date of the notice and the date you intend to vacate. Nothing else more is needed that I can think of. You might want to inquire when he will be doing a walk through to determine your security refund if that is called for in your lease.
Anything more can come back to bite you in potentially unexpected ways.

DEAR MR. SMITH,
AS OF THIS DATE I AM GIVING MY 30 DAY NOTICE TO TERMINATE MY TENNANCY.
I WILL BE MOVED OUT BY 5/1/07.
PLEASE MAIL MY SECURITY TO 111 JONES ST. SMITHVILLE IN. 00000
I WILL EXPECT TO HAVE THE SECURITY DEPOSIT NO LATER THAN 6/1/07.
if you are smart, send the letter and use the sec. dep for your last months rent. if he is known for not giving sec deps back you may have to fight him for it if you don't. and last but not least make sure he gets his full 30 days. if you stay even one day into the new month you owe rent for that month.

The answers above are good. Say only what you need to say. I would double check your lease. I had one once that required 45 days notice.
