Sample Terminating an Employee for Poor Performance Letter

Firing an employee is often difficult, but it is easier when the employee has exhibited poor performance than when a productive employee must be laid off for financial reasons. Since employee termination is always a touchy situation, it is useful to have a formatted letter so that a termination does not feel personal.

Dear _____________,
