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.
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).
You can resign for any reason you like, and you are under no obligation to disclose the reason.
For example, “I am writing to inform you of my decision to resign from my position as Job Title at Company, effective Date, due to personal reasons.” Afterward, highlight the positives of your experiences and show appreciation. When mentioning your reason, keep it broad. No need to get into the specifics.
