It's perfectly legal to quit without notice in the USA. You would likely be coded as ineligible for rehire in the old employer's HR system. You also are unlikely to get a good reference (but smart employers don't permit references good or bad). Of course, with any voluntary quit, you can't get unemployment insurance.
While immediate resignation is possible, it's generally advisable to provide notice if possible to ensure a smooth transition and maintain a positive relationship with your employer.
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.
I am writing to inform you of my resignation from my position at (Company Name), effective immediately. Due to personal reasons, I am unable to continue working and will not be returning to the office.
Hi! Unless you can negotiate an agreement with your supervisor, HR, and upper management to allow you to resign immediately, you are bound by law to render at least 30 days notice.
I understand that my notice period is (Notice period) weeks, but I have been asked to join my new Employer (Date requested to start). Therefore, I respectfully request that you waive this notice period and relieve me of my duties immediately.
Some employment contracts include stipulations where employees lose certain benefits if they quit without notice, such as unused vacation days. Carefully review any documents you signed when being hired, especially if you work on a contract.

So if you have not had written notification, request it. If your request is ignored, you could write out to the employee and state that you deem they have indeed resigned due to their lack of response. You should however be aware that depending on the circumstances, this could be construed as a dismissal.
Accept the resignation Be direct and to the point and, in the first sentence, acknowledge the receipt of their letter of resignation and formally accept it. Depending on the employee and the circumstances of their departure, you may want to add your regrets about their decision in the first paragraph.
