<Recipient Address Goes Here>

During your five months of employment with the (Name) Corporation, your supervisor has evaluated your performance three times. After each evaluation, she informed you that your performance was not meeting the standard necessary if you were to continue in your position. Unfortunately, your performance has not improved. After serious consideration, we have decided to ask for your resignation effective immediately. According to company policy, you will receive two months’ severance pay and the opportunity to continue certain benefits, as outlined in the attached summary.

Decisions like this are never easy, but in light of your poor performance, we see no alternative. Despite this action, we feel you have significant potential and hope you will find work more compatible with that potential.

Regards,

(Your Name)
