A letter of dismissal is used when an employee of a business is being fired. It is a formal notice that after the specified date, the employee will no longer be employed at the business in question. Usually, a letter of dismissal will include the reasons for termination.
Tips for writing a letter of dismissal
- Be polite: this employee is losing their job – a little humility goes a long way
- Be precise: try and explain the specific thing they are being dismissed for
- Be concise: don’t make the letter longer than it has to be
