Dear [Employer's Name],
I am writing to formally submit a grievance in regards to my wrongful termination from [Company Name]. I was deeply disappointed and shocked to have received notice of my termination, and I believe that the reasons provided were unjustified and discriminatory.
[Provide a detailed account of the events leading up to your termination. Describe any incidents or interactions that may have led to your termination, and explain why you believe the reasons given for your termination were unjustified.]
I feel that my termination was a result of discrimination based on [race, gender, age, disability, or other protected characteristic], which is a clear violation of federal and state employment laws. I was performing my job duties in a satisfactory manner and had not received any disciplinary action prior to my termination.
I am requesting that you reconsider my termination and reinstate my employment with [Company Name]. I am also requesting a fair and impartial investigation into the circumstances surrounding my termination, and that the results of this investigation be provided to me in writing.
If you do not take any corrective action to resolve this issue, I will have no choice but to pursue legal action. I am confident that we can resolve this matter in an amicable and satisfactory manner.
Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter. I look forward to hearing from you soon.
Sincerely,
[Your Name]
