Dear [Recipients Name],

Refer to your letter of 19th November 2015 relieving me from my duties as Finance Officer at XYZ Company. I am writing to raise a formal grievance regarding this dismissal.

According to the letter, the grounds for my dismissal were stated as ?carelessness and lack of attention to detail?. It is true that I entered the wrong entry into the wrong journal but also, please understand that I am only human and cannot be 100% perfect. Besides, this was just one mistake, yet I have been working for the company for the last six years.

I strongly believe that my termination was wrongful. My previous performance appraisals have been outstanding. Kindly review this decision. I am looking forward to a favorable response from you.

Sincerely,

[Senders Name]

Further things to consider when writing termination letters to employers

Termination Letters

Termination letters are letters you write to officially end a service that had been offered to you. In most cases, termination letters are issued by employers to employees to terminate their services. This could be due to employees' poor performance or serious misconduct. Before writing a termination letter, the employer holds a meeting with the employee to discuss reasons for his/her termination. The termination letter is then drafted summarizing what was discussed at the meeting. It explains why you want to terminate the employee and outlines other details about the termination.

When writing termination letters, you need to be formal and direct to the point. Provide only the necessary information, such as the reason for termination, date of termination, etc. Be brief - the employee already knows he/she is being terminated, so you do not have to write a long essay. Give information about the employee's final paycheck. Give details of how and when the employee should give back company property. Outline any agreements outlined in the employee's contract regarding the termination. If you have provided benefits like retirement savings or health insurance, mention how these will be handled. Sign the letter and include any necessary attachments.

Letters to Employers

Letters to employers are letters written to people or organizations that hire or employ people. The sender of such letters could be an employee or a person looking for a job. Letters to employers could be of different types. For example, they could be application and cover letters to apply for jobs or thank-you letters after interviews to show that you are still interested in the interviewed positions. The letters could also be complaint letters to raise complaints at work, apology letters to apologize for wrongdoing at work, or resignation letters to leave currently held positions.

Letters to employers are formal in nature and should, therefore, follow the basic layout of formal letters. The letters must be brief and clear so that the recipients don't spend too much time grasping the content. Use the proper salutation depending on the job position of the recipient. If you know the recipient, address him/her by his/her name. However, in instances where you don't know your recipient, you can call and ask. Mention the reason for your letter and provide all the necessary information. Avoid making offensive comments even if you are raising a complaint. Close the letter on a positive note.
