None of it. A resignation letter exists only to resign:

    $TODAY

    To Whom it May Concern: 
    
    I would like to inform you that I am resigning 
    from my position here at $EMPLOYER, effective $DATE. 
    
    Sincerely,
   
    
    $ME

edit: be prepared, depending on the employer and the nature of the work, to be asked to leave immediately.
