No, it is not necessary or appropriate to include your reasons for leaving in a resignation letter.
In most cases, you are not legally required to provide a reason for leaving your job if your employer asks. However, it's generally considered courteous to offer an explanation, especially if you're leaving on good terms.
Try to focus on a single compelling reason for your decision. Remember that the primary purpose of this explanation is to stay on good terms with your employer, so maintain a polite and professional tone. Additional details may help the company better serve future employees, but you should still keep the letter brief.

Many people leave their jobs when they're faced with personal reasons like health issues or family emergencies. You don't need to disclose personal or family matters. Sometimes, saying, “I had to leave for personal and family reasons,” is enough as long as you explain why you're ready to reenter the workforce.
Your intention to resign, last day of work, and an expression of gratitude are the key elements to include on a resignation letter. You could also mention a general reason for leaving, but it's not necessary. Keep it short and professional.
Keep your letter concise and to the point by summarizing your reason for leaving in one sentence. If the situation is complex or you have multiple reasons for leaving, focus on the primary cause. This statement is most impactful when it's brief and direct.
