In my experience sometimes it does help to include the reasons why you are leaving, that way you are not burning your bridges and the superiors know that you were happy but circumstances prevented you from staying:
To Whom it May Concern:
It is with great regret that I must turn in my two weeks notice at this time. Due to rising fuel costs it is no longer financially feasible for me to remain with your company. While I have enjoyed my time here I have to ensure that my family is taken care of financially and my financial obligations are met. Perhaps in the future if the fuel costs and economy stabilize I would be able to return to this company. Thank you very much for the years I have enjoyed with you and I appreciate your understanding.
With Regards,
Insert Your Name
This way you have stated your reasons and they might give you the raise to be able to keep you, you are letting them know you are not leaving due to bad or hard feelings and you are leaving the door open for a return if possible.

hey Kate I may just copy cut and paste that...LOL
there are more reasons too.. we are drastically underpaid (its actually sickening) I have repeatedly asked not to be sent to homes of smokers because second hand smoke is a HUGE migraine trigger.. and yes I get sent to them weekly... I am tired of working with fellow staff members who dont know what the term confidentiality means. (I have clients giving me updates on my other clients) I have clients giving me gossip about other STAFF members.. like one staff whos husband cheats on her and has recently tried to take his own life..
This is NOT information fellow employees need to be sharing with our clients. I am tired of the unprofessional nature of my fellow staff. I am tired of our office staff calling me on my cell while I am with client (A) and talking about client (B) to me the information I am saying in front of client (a)'s family is a breech...
I dunnno maybe I am not cut out for this kind of work..
