You have decided to resign because of some reasons best known to you. No need of complaining or criticizing your boss even if he wronged you deeply. Keep your cool.

You could recommend someone that will take your place. If you are still on an assigned duty, assure them of your willingness to finish the work before leaving.

State the date 

Don't forget to state the date you will be leaving. This is very important aspect of a resignation letter.

Proof read the letter  before sending it out.
