Re: Termination of employment – absence from work without notification

You have not attended work since [insert date] and have failed to respond to our previous letter dated [insert date], requesting that you contact us to discuss your absence and the circumstances surrounding your failure to notify. As you have failed to do that, we have no alternative other than to assume you do not intend to return and have abandoned your employment. Therefore we have taken action to terminate your employment.

Please ensure all company property is returned and accounted for. Your final entitlements have been calculated as follows:
