Writing a letter varies by style across the world, but these parts are generally good to use:

1) Start of the letter

Something like "Dear madam/sir" or "Dear mr/mrs [insert last name]"

2) Working up to not renewing

The next part should be a description of what you've done, and focus on good things. Like "I have worked for the company for twelve years, and I have found it to be a very good place to work. I am especially grateful for the thoughtful gesture during last Christmas holiday" or such.

3) Ending the employment

Here you state that you leave, why and when. An example: "Regrettably I can no longer sustain my work commute due to the rising costs of public transportation, and am forced to locate work closer to home. As such, I would like to resign from my current position as per [date]."

4) Ending the letter

Here you add a positive note again (sandwiching bad news between 2 items of good news). Example: "[Company name] will prove to be a good employment opportunity in the future, and I wish you all the success in the world."

Then add a closer (like "Kind regards" or "Best wishes") and end with your name.

Make sure to send the letter with confirmation of receipt, and to contact the HR department to ensure the letter was received and can be accepted legally (so you aren't accidentally still employed).

Also make sure that all opportunities for improving your job (if the job is the issue you are quitting) have been exhausted - if, for instance, you've been passed up for promotion too much and are planning to quit because of that there is no reason not to be bold and simply ask for a promotion from your manager. After all, you already wanted to quit, so even if they fire you you are not worse off!
