Dear (Employer Name),
As much as I have loved being a (position) at (Company), I'm afraid that I must resign, effective (date). With (children/ailing parent/disability), I feel that my (commute/long hours/inflexible schedule) here no longer line up with my work/life balance.
I am so grateful for the opportunities you have given me here, and I will miss everyone on the team.
Sincerely,
Name
