Tell them that you are having some personal struggles and you think it would be best to leave. Do this about a week or two in advance so they can prepare for you leaving.

Be honest and give only the needed information. Thank them for the opportunity to work there, and ensure you provide them with enough notice in advance of leaving.

You can put it in writing. A formal letter and in the end thank the company (or your boss) for the opportunity, etc. After that you can thank him (if you want to you can give a small token of appreciation like a personalised coffee cup or a card) and express your gratitude in person.

You obviously have many choices. My opinion, I believe if you are simple you will be nice. If you really wants to leave you should not be too nicely. Because, he will want to keep you and bosses wants nice people to represent their company.
