If you are resigning with immediate effect in protest at how you have been treated, a verbal resignation is enough, but it is better to put it in writing. Most employment contracts will require you to resign in writing – so, your notice period will not start to run until you give your employer written notice.
Personal emergency. Unexpected family crises, urgent relocations, or significant life events may require immediate attention. In such cases, resigning without notice may be the best way to address the emergency effectively.
To quit, write a simple letter addressed to your supervisor that says nothing more than you are resigning, and which day will be your last. Don't mention your reasons or future plans, no complaints, just your resignation and effective date.
State your intention to resign, the effective date of your resignation, and optionally, the reason for your departure.

Dear (Recipient's Name), I am writing to inform you of my immediate resignation from my position at (Company Name). After careful consideration, I have decided that it is in my best interest to conclude my employment with (Company Name) effective immediately.
Can my resignation be “with immediate effect”? Is it a good idea to do so? If you have less than 1 months' service, and no notice provisions in your contract of employment, then you can resign with immediate effect. You otherwise need to give 1 week's statutory notice (or longer if your contract provides for this).
If you quit without notice, your employer could sue you for any damages caused by your breach of contract, eg if they had to hire an expensive temp to fill in for you during what would have been your notice period.
Unless employed under a contract, most people work under the terms of at-will employment, meaning that neither the employer or the employee has a legal obligation to give notice before terminating employment.
