Looking to quit without two week notice, any tips?

Title. Underpaid and my mental health is suffering so badly at this job it's starting to affect my physical health. Anxiety vomit every day sort of thing, the works. I have coworkers at this job who I can list as references in the future if I need to so I'm not terribly worried about not being able to list it on a resume in the future. I'm a little worried about being without an income but I have a few good applications in and an interview next week that seems promising. I've already drafted an email saying that it's effective immediately and laying out the major reason why (I won't get into it because the details would be too specific but my boss directly threatened my career a few weeks ago because I did something that they personally didn't like), even said that I'd be sorry to affect my coworkers…

I'm a little worried about being without an income but I have a few good applications in and an interview next week that seems promising.

I've already drafted an email saying that it's effective immediately and laying out the major reason why (I won't get into it because the details would be too specific but my boss directly threatened my career a few weeks ago because I did something that they personally didn't like), even said that I'd be sorry to affect my coworkers so negatively (although obviously we all know it's the workplace/boss who's at fault for understaffing and driving employees to this point). Is there anything else I should consider? Other things to write in the email? I also asked that correspondence is kept to what's necessary to proceed with the notice and nothing more so I don't get a bunch of texts from my boss- although I plan on blocking her number as soon as I submit the email anyway.

Things to include in the email, language to choose or avoid, etc. Any stories if you've done the same would be great, too! I'm actually pretty excited to get my mental health back on track, this job has really and truly completely destroyed it. I just want to make sure I don't make any wrong moves that'll majorly bite me in the ass (besides, y'know, quitting with no notice, but I have no interest in returning to this organization anyway and, like I said, have comrade coworkers that I can list as references in the future.)
