Richard Nixon's resignation letter is one sentence long. That's all you need to meet the legal requirement.

BTW, it is not LDS Inc that requires a letter. It is the US legal system. Actually, it doesn't have to be a letter, but for the courts to recognize your resignation, you must be able to show the court that you unambiguously notified LDS Inc of your resignation.
That's really the only requirement - you have to tell them you're done, and you're done. If you just walk away, you're a member that walked away. If they then decide to excommunicate or disfellowship you, nothing judicial you can do about it. Once you are a member, until you fire them or they fire you, you are still a member, as far as US courts are concerned.
