Dear Mr. Zaccherelli:

It is with sincere regret that I must  you that your employment at Addison Systems Inc. will be terminated as of Friday January 31, 2006.

As you know, the Downsizing Task Force delivered their report to the general manager in late October, 2006. Among the task force recommendations was the  of all temporary and contract positions. Since you occupy a temporary position, your position is automatically subject to the task force recommendations.

I would like to make it absolutely clear that in no way does your termination reflect that the company is in any way unhappy with your work performance over the past 18 months. In fact, you have been  as one of our most contract staff-members. Unfortunately, you and the other non-permanent staff that are being let go are simply a  of the general economic  in the fiber-optics industry over the past year.

In an effort to try to reduce the  of this termination, the company has worked out an arrangement that will give you one week's pay for each month you worked beyond 12 months. In your case this will amount to six (6) weeks of pay. In addition, your medical and dental coverage will remain in effect until the end of this period. You will soon receive a letter from the Human Resources Department with all of the details on the  .

Thomas, given your  , I am confident that you will be able to find another position in the relatively near future. If you would like, I would be  to write a recommendation letter for you, to help with your job search.

Sincerely,

 

Larry Shandler

Unit Manager
