Technically, you don't have to give ANY reason. All you need to tell your team is that you have decided to move on and your last day will be [date] so that they can go over anything they need to with you before you go. You have a job there, not a sibling relationship. You don't "owe" anyone a long-winded explanation. It may be very personal stuff that you wouldn't ever discuss with co-workers, and you don't need to leave a lot of personal information that can be turned into coffee room gossip after you're gone.
Maybe just say there was another opportunity elsewhere you couldn't refuse or just don't give a reason why, focusing on what you've learned and the great connections you made while you were there.
I agree but I also want to know if their manager asked questions to keep them for retention purposes
Be brief and to the point. Don't go into a lot of detail about your reasons for leaving. Just give them a general overview and then move on. No need to sugarcoat things either.
That's ridiculous. There is no need for you to provide any information to anyone but your leader. Give your notice and move on.
Agreed - the less detail the better. Keep it formal and business focused.
