Do it yourself. It is empowering to take to use your autonomy, and take charge of your own life.
The Mormons have no authority over you. According to law, put into motion by a lawsuit in Arizona, years ago, which reached the Federal Courts, you need only NOTIFY a cult or organization that you have resigned. The cult can not demand an explanation, or money, or a visit, or anything else, because when you notify them, you are OUT. I mailed a certified return-receipt letter to the head office in SLC. When the receipt was signed, that was the moment I was free. When your electronic e-mail resignation is received, you are immediately resigned.
I still wanted that "confirmation letter", anyway, to keep in my file, and I didn't mind waiting FIVE MONTHS for mine, because I was already legally resigned. The confirmation letter says only that "your name has been removed from the rolls." Mormons don't have the word "resigned" in their vocabulary. They never use the phrases, "Thank you for your years of service" or "Thank you for all that tithing money."
All the Mormon paper work, and the bishop's visits, and other junk is just more Mormon-invented garbage, and not legal and not necessary. That's their problem, not yours.
In your letter of resignation, you might enjoy writing all the reasons WHY you are resigning. Now is a good opportunity to get everything off your chest, and out in the open. I doubt if any Mormons bother to read all the letters of resignation--but you would be writing down the facts for yourself and your family. My children resigned with me, and our letter honestly, politely, and succinctly says it all, for us. It's our "un-mission statement."
But, you don't need to give one word of explanation, if you don't feel like it.
Congratulations!
