Short and sweet. If you're granted an exit interview, that would be an appropriate time to address the reasons you're leaving - professionally.
Don't burn a bridge unless you're completely sure that you will never need to cross it again.
That said, I find writing the version you'd really like to submit can be very therapeutic. About 12 years ago, I quit a very toxic company and the night before I resigned, I had dinner with a friend where we talked about what I really wanted to say to my employer. Once I got it out of my system, my actual letter of resignation was boilerplate.
