I just accepted a new job on Friday and I don't want my boss to know that I'm quitting bc of it, bc I know that she will have an attitude and treat me really bad. So what should I say in my resignation letter so she won't know. My boss is a real bi**h, I can't stand her and she's the real reason I'm leaving in the first place.

You don't have to say a thing about the reason you are quitting. (But dont tell anyone else at work either, if you do, it WILL get back to her.)
Just say this:
Dear (Boss Name):
Please accept this letter of resignation effective (date of your last day of work.)* I will be pursuing other opportunities. I appreciate the support I have received while employed at (current employer's name).
I wish you and (current employer's name) all the best in your future endeavors.
Signed,
You

Unless you feel that your present boss will take some sort of retalitory job action (such as saying, "don't bother to come in any more") you OWE the company that is presently employing you fair notice of your quitting. To do otherwise is unprofessional and can haunt you in the future.
It is a SMALL world. In one position I applied for, the hiring manager knew my previous boss.
In my present position, one of my interviewers knew my old partner from a job I had 15 years ago.
Think very carefully on this one, and don't walk off without notice just to spite your boss. THAT will earn you a reputation that will be hard to shake.

If you have a HR department in the company make sure they get a copy of the letter or go above her and give it to her boss stating that you have always enjoyed working for the company but because of her lack of professionalism you have decided to move on. Let her boss tell her why. Good luck on your new job!

The standard resignation letter these days states that you are leaving to pursue other goals. It is not necessary to state if those goals art personal or professional.

Better to give notice than to all off a sudden not show up. Give the notice and just say a great opportunity which you could not resist came up. Never burn your bridges behind you you never know what the future holds
