Dear {Name},
As you know, the {length of time} maternity leave that I took will be ending on {date}.
Before having {child's name}, I was certain that I would be able to return to work once the maternity leave period had ended. But I did not anticipate how I would feel, or how much I would want to spend every second with this little creature. I am lucky enough that {spouse's name} makes enough to support us for a while, and that {he/she} is willing to allow me to stay home to take care of {child's name}.
So, this letter will serve as my formal letter of resignation from {company}. I've enjoyed my time here, and I hope you know I am leaving with no hard feelings. I just believe I'm supposed to spend as much time with my baby as I possibly can.
Sincerely,
{Name}
