Sig other is half assed still in, one family member is in... Its been years... wondering if I should just let it be or just call up HQ and say I resign... I will be pissed if they announce shit at the KH, though I dont even remember the last one I went to... lol. For me, its none of anyone elses business... thoughts?

Welcome to the Forum a great place to explore various points of view on jw stuff.
In my opinion, do not bother with a letter as your no longer being a witness will be read out.
Seems you are simply fading and no longer active.
Take my tip, let it be, that way friends and family will not be required to shun you.
They will occasionally work on you to 'return to their desert god' but I'm sure you could deal
with that now and then.
Enjoy the freedom from constant guilt tripping.

You've been out for years, and you don't think your status is anyone else's business... so why tell the elders anything at all?
That would just stir things up to no purpose, wouldn't it?

If you want to write a letter to the org or the locals, write it...give them your reasons...sign it alias whomever
You will have your say...

Don't bother.
My father had a saying when he was alive that may apply, "Ju mer du rör om i skitten destro värre luktar det." That is Swedish.

Translation:The more you stir in the dirt, the worse it smells.So, let sleeping dogs lie.
O like the idea of sending them an anonymous letter signed, Jehovah knows who I am. Tell the elders they can announce your name from the pulpit

NO!
That allows them to close the "case" on you vs having them waste time when the CO discusses inactive ones wih them.
