Depending on where you are in the world and whether or not you have your passport (in some parts of the Middle East the employer seizes the passport) you may have difficulty in sticking two fingers up and getting on the first aircraft home.
In your letter of resignation, however, I'd recommend:
1. Clear statement of resignation (e.g., "I resign my post of X with effect from date Y"
2. Clear and unambiguous statement as to why (e.g., "I have come to the conclusion that the global hydrocarbon industry is the root of all evil"
3. Clear statement of your requirements for your employers (e.g., "I will be leaving the country on date Y (as above) and expect that you will have cleared all matters in relation to my visa, passport and outstanding payments")
4. A short statement at the end (e.g., "I trust that there are no areas in this letter which require clarification and I look forward to departure from the country on date Y, able to look forward in future to the glowing reference from you that I deserve")
Hope that this helps!

Good guess at Middle East - Saudi. Not exactly a tourist destination, with bad weather, bad beaches and NO BOOZE!

Wouldn't mind some of that action myself to be honest.

... they all are, too.
Actually, they're also all pissheads, which might be a wrinkle in the plan.

Apparently they all smell. This from a man who was a squatter.

Some of them squatters could pass as darkies

Went there as a medical lab officer for a 12 month job before I went back to university to do graduate entry medicine ... money was tremendous (especially given that I was only 21 at the time) but would I go back?
HELL NO.

There's a reason why the money's so good. If it wasn't, everybody would be on the first plane back!

Otherwise they might not know what you're talking about.
