Legal Question in Employment Law in Florida

I had an interview with a large company. I received a hire packet via FedEx from the company on a week later. The packet included an offer letter which stated my salary, benefits, and instructions on completing a drug test and background check. The next day I faxed back the required documentation to the HR office. That same day I completed the drug test and resigned from my current job.

The following week my boss hired someone to replace me. I spent the week training this person. On Thursday of that week a women from the new job�s HR department called to verify information so that she could finish my background check. On Friday, my last day of employment with my old job, the new job�s HR department contacted me to inform me that they had "made a mistake" and did not mean to send me a hire packet. He told me that they would try to find me a job but could not guarantee it.

Today September 1st, I received a latter by mail that the does not have a job for me and "wishes me the best of luck". I now am unemployed and I am unable to collect unemployment because I quit my last job. The HR department at the company will not respond to my phone calls or e-mails.

Do I have the legal right to a job or at least compensation?
