You are never required to explain personal reasons for resigning. Citing personal reasons is completely acceptable in any workplace.

Sample Wording

I am writing to formally notify you of my resignation from my position as [Job Title], effective [Last Day]. My decision to resign is due to personal reasons that I am not in a position to elaborate on at this time. This is in no way a reflection of my experience here, which I have valued greatly.

Will My Employer Accept This?

Yes. As long as you give proper notice and remain professional, citing personal reasons is widely accepted.
