I wrote and signed a resignation letter, not adressed to anyone or any company, just made out to To Whom It May Concern. I left the letter on my desk without handing it in to any manager or DP.

The following day I was off sick and when I returned to work my manager called me in and informed me that my resignation was excepted. When I told him that I never handed in my resignation, he told me it doesn't matter and as far as the DP is concerned I have resigned and the resignation excepted.

Furthermore, I was given a letter stating the above situation from my manager. For the next 3 days I have been relieved of all my duties. I was told that I was not allowed to help clients plus no phone calls were suppose to be put through to my extention. 

Everytime I asked my manager what is going on, he told me that he cant tell me anything and that I must wait for the DP to come back, he is currently abroad, before anything can be sorted out. 

What are my rights in this situation? What may I and may I not do?

Please help

Resignation is largely about intent. You must have the intent to leave the employer and this must be freely done without duress or intimidation. The fact that you wrote a letter does not indicate intent, and as you still wanted to work, the termination of the employment relationship was at the employers instance. It can therefore be seen as a dismissal.
