I think it's appropriate to value people's time, to be polite, as considerate as you can be- but also, you have to do what's best for your life and if there was a sudden change or the job wasn't the fit you hoped for, you also have to answer to yourself first and make the appropriate change. Burning as few bridges as possible by being truthful, and following any necessary procedures or follow-up is wise, but ultimately if there's an important thing for you elsewhere driving that decision, you don't have to feel guilt for life being life!

Regardless of the type of employment and duration you want to provide a physical letter of resignation. That way your resignation is documented rather than a verbal conversation. You should thank your employer for the opportunity that was provided and possibly apologize for having to leave the position so soon into your tenure. You should also include a reason (or more) for why you are leaving the company. The reasons for leaving the company should not be intended to bash the company but rather to express a change of opportunities for you. If you want to maintain a good standing with the company the standard is to provide at least a 2 weeks notice so that the company can hire someone to replace you.

It's fine to quit on a project you just started. It might not be what you wanted or you may have been overwhelmed but that's okay! You can always try again and seek for another job you think better suits you. Make sure this doesn't become a habit though and think back on why you quit so you can avoid that in the future and be in a workplace you're content with. Don't dwell on it too much and I'll be here to work through it with you. And maybe not me as I might be too inexperienced to help you on the subject but I'm sure you'll do great next time, no pressure!

Write a letter and explain your reasons for quitting the job. It is always important to leave in good term and to remain professional. If you are leaving because you found a new job, indicate so in your letter. If it is something that the organization is doing, if there is an HR to talk to, try first to address the issue. If you are totally sure of leaving, as said, write your letter with your reasons and remain polite and professional, despite any reason for quitting the job.
For your own reflection, and future use. Write down things you liked and things you didn't. Things you can improve to yourself etc. What you expect from an organization etc.
Wish you the best of luck.

"I know I just started working here. But I am afraid it is not a right job for me. I am sorry that I can't work here anymore. I understand it may cause your inconvenience to find somebody else to fill the position. Somehow in a long run, I believe it is better for both of us. Thank you for hiring me. I wish you can find someone amazing as soon as possible. " Be sincere. It is more like "it is not you; it is me..." kind of situation. No need to get down to the detail. As long as it has been put on the table, it is not that much you need to say.

If I were you and you had to quit a job that you had just started the only thing I would do is to be honest and try to put in a notice said that the next job you have you will at least have a pass that you were considerate and honest about the reason that you need to quit this job because sometimes things happen and they may be personal and it is always best to think about letting the employer who hired you know and I honest as possible that you will no longer be able to work with them and that you appreciate that person chose you to work for them and then just simply apologize and make it a simple and as formal as possible there cuz this person will need to know maybe that you will not be at work and at least if you can try to give them a heads up that you will not be there as their employee.

It is always okay to do what is right for you. It is important that you are happy at your place of work. If something there is upsetting you, you can try to work it out with your boss before quitting, it might make a huge difference.
If the job isn't right for you, you can respectfully tell your boss, that you would like to quit. If you have agreed on a notice period, you tell your boss, that you would like to quit your job after your notice is up. You can explain why, but you don't have to, because it is okay to want a different job that is just right for you.

Telling the truth is usually the best way to go with any situation. This could be anxiety provoking or you may feel unable to tell the truth, in which case I think telling as close to the truth as you can will likely mean that you feel better about the situation than if you were to completely make up a reason. I would imagine it will feel easier and be received better including things like thank you for the opportunity etc. Being polite and graceful will likely serve you well in this situation. It depends on the reason you are quitting too, if you have been offered something you would prefer, that the job is just not for you, something in your situation changed. All of these are understandable, you are an employee, they pay you to do a service or specific role, it is ok to leave.
