I don't understand why everyone is suggesting that a letter of resignation is the best way to go about this.
Since when did it become unacceptable to just approach your boss/supervisor and tell him face to face? That's the way I would want my employees to go about it if I were a manager. Think about it, if you're sitting there having your morning breakfast and one of your employees slips you a letter saying he's quitting (like in the example someone posted about their uncle or something), I dunno about you but I would be like "what the hell?" I'd much rather an employee talk to me head on and say "I'd like to give you my 2 weeks notice today because I have found a new job that will let me explore new opportunities for myself...blah blah blah", rather than hand my some letter.

In my experience you do both. You tell whomever you report to you're leaving first. HR usually wants a formal letter from you for documentation purposes.
Since I usually tell them why in person, my resignation letters have been all of one or two sentences long.
Your boss will usually ask why you're leaving anyways. Usually.
