Here is a great start:
We are running a campaign to distribute this open letter to all Witnesses, Ex-Witnesses and their family. We have had great response! Please help us distribute this message either anonymously or not.
I am disassociating! I need a template for the letter ASAP!!!

Are you sure things won't calm down a few weeks from now as the memories of the convention fade and your mom is herself once again?
She sounds like the type that would "have" to shun you, and it would really be difficult to see your family anymore. Are you absolutely sure that there is no way to get her to realize that religion just needs to be a topic that you do not discuss? Maybe you could discuss things with your mom first, letting her know that you are thinking about dissasociation, but would rather have peaceful coexistence.
In other words, try not to burn your bridges behind you...you are contemplating taking a step that you can't undo later. Maybe I am just speaking as one who has lost both parents...once this is done, you may never have your mother again.

Found Sheep
I put mine on a sticky note and it just said "I, Found Sheep no longer want to be known as One of Jehovah's Witnesses, Sincerely Found Sheep" and it was dated.
I had writen a few rant letters but by this time I just didn't want to waste any more time with them.
Best of luch there are quite a few templates you may want to search it

NOTE: If you write a letter, you'll be instantly treated as an apostate. You will be shunned by 99.9% of JWs, inlucuding your closest friends and family.
No template is needed.
IF you want to end this, you simply need to inform them that (1) you no longer consider yourself one of JWs and (2) you're asking them to never contact you again.
If you send the letter certified mail with a return receipt requested, they cannot deny that they received your request.
The contents of the letter are irrelevant, as nobody is going to actually read the letter. It's merely paperwork that must be put into order before the CO's next visit.

It's been awhile so my memory is a little fuzzy, but this was the gist of mine

9999 Where-ever Lane
Bible Belt County, GA 31145
6/21/2011
To: Elders of the Bible Belt County Congregation, Watchtower Bible and Tract Society of New York
RE: Voluntary DisassociationI have been a member of this congregation for 12 years, having served in the capacity of both a ministerial servent and auxillary pioneer. As I have grown in both age and understanding, I have worked dilligently to both spread the message of the Jehovah's Witnesses to others, as well as come to a greater understanding of that message myself as counseled in 1 Tim 4:15. Through a careful consideration of scripture and much prayer, as well as dilligent research into the information and understanding of those scriptures as presented by the Watchtower society, I have come to a decision that I must make you aware of.
Remaining a member of the Jehovah Witnesses requires a level of self-delusion and hypocricy of which I am no longer capable, and I wish to disassociate myself from all aspects of that religion and the teachings of the Watchtower Bible and Tract Society.
The facts that have gone into this decision are too numerous to detail here, but I do want to make it clear that I do not make this decision lightly and it is not one that I have any desire to reconsider. Please consider this letter to be a formal request that no contact with me be initiated by the body of Elders or any other member of the congregation locally or member of the Watchtower society at large.

I would not bother going into detail on the reasons why you came to this decision.
You can include in your letter that although you do not wish to be part of the Congregation, you will still be happy to Friend them on Facebook.

I posted one on your other thread a few minutes ago. Here it is.
Dear (Elders of the local governing bodyCongregation)
Be informed that I no longer wish to be associated with the Watchtower Bible and Tract Society and I no longer consider myself a Jehovah's Witness. The reasons are my own and I am not prepared to discuss them.
In all sincerity,
Scooter
