Dear PAUL SMITH,
During your six months employment with Cray Corporation, you have been evaluated by your supervisor five times. After each evaluation, he gave you written notice that your performance does not meet the standard requirements in order for you to stay in your position. Sad to say, your performance has not become any better even until now. After a thorough discussion with your supervisor, we agreed to let you resign effective immediately. You will be given a month’s severance pay in accordance with company policy. You can also opt to continue your benefits, as specified in the copy of the benefits summary.
Sincerely,
Ardere
