Formal Employee Redundant Letter Sample

[The company letterhead] (It is a formal letter from the company)

[Date]

Dear Mr. Steve Kim,

I am sorry to inform you that the company has to reduce its workforce by half to the severe recession. We have to discontinue the section that you are working in. We are trying to narrow down the impact on our human resource section but this is the final decision of our final meeting. We will keep in touch with you by email and let you know when we are better or need more employees in your section. I hope that we can maintain our relationship.

You will be eligible for redundancy compensations according to the scales laid down by law. Please accept the offer.

Yours sincerely,

[Your name]
[Position]
