It is usually best practice to hand in your notice and stick to your contractual notice period, but this is not always possible. In some cases, you might have to leave sooner than your agreed notice period. This could be due to a number of reasons, such as family, health, stress or other issues.
Typically, employees are required to provide notice when resigning, the length of which is usually specified in the employment contract. If you choose to resign with immediate effect without serving this notice, it could potentially lead to breaches of contract unless agreed upon by your employer.
A resignation without notice is when an employee resigns from their position without the typical two weeks' notice. When resigning without notice, your letter should state clearly that the resignation will be effective immediately. Adding context and expressing gratitude can help preserve your professional reputation.

Can my resignation be “with immediate effect”? Is it a good idea to do so?

You otherwise need to give 1 week's statutory notice (or longer if your contract provides for this).
Due to an unexpected personal emergency that requires my ongoing attention, I am unable to continue my duties. This situation necessitates my immediate departure from the company. I apologize for the short notice and any inconvenience this may cause.
