There is just no reason to stoop to the level of writing a nasty letter. Coming from a past chapter President I had two letters that were completely rude and uncalled for that pinpointed me specifically. And I still remember them to this day, when one of those ladies contacted me several years later to try and make nice I was polite to her but did not respond to her plea for friendship. You never know who might remember that letter or how it might be interpreted.
Bingo. Never slam a door that you can't shut quietly.

A simple, "I'm afraid that I've come to a time in my life when I can no longer be a functional member of XYZ" shows that you're not going to post ritual online or anything stupid like that.

As much as I hated one of my first jobs, I wrote something similar, and that way, still had a reference for the future.
