Keep it short
A resignation letter is a record, not a conversation. State that you are resigning, your last day and a thank-you. Save the reasons for the meeting, if at all.
Tell your manager first
Resign in person or on a call, then send the letter the same day so the dates are in writing.
Offer a handover
Offering to document your work or train a replacement is the best way to keep a good reference.
Questions
How much notice should I give?
Two weeks is standard in the US unless your contract says otherwise. Senior roles often give more.
Do I have to give a reason for leaving?
No. A brief, positive letter without reasons is normal and professional.
