I don't think a certified letter is really necessary unless there is a reason that you need to show proof that you showed the school that you notified them of your withdrawal.
I think you can call them and say "Hey, I just want to let you know that i won't be able to accept your offer of admission. I'm sending a letter to let you guys know too but I just wanted to give you guys the heads up." ... and follow up with a nice letter notifying them that you are withdrawing yourself.

Email should be sufficient.
Personally, I'm sending plain snail-mail letters. Nothing too fancy, just a few words about what I liked about the school and a few words about why I'm not going. This is more than necessary, but I figure they were nice enough toconsider and accept me, I might as well give them a reason. I then send it regular mail.
