Warning Letter - employee has left the job without giving any prior intimation

Dear All, I am looking for a warning letter, i mean my employee has left the job without giving any prior intimation and also has not handed over the responsibilities. Lots of material which he was handling has been missing. So i want to tell him that a strict action will be taken against him, as he was suppossed to give us a proper notice period. So If someone can help me with it, i would be grateful...
Please i need it urgently...
Thanks in advance
Preeti....

Dear Preeti,
You can start by sending a letter requesting the employee to return the properties and materials that are with him.
The send three reminders at appropriate intervals mentioning the type of action you are going to take in case of failure to redress the situation in each letter.
For example:
Reminder I: " ........ will have no other option but to take legal action against you"
Reminder II "........ Please rerply within 15 days otherwise we will be compelled to take legal action"
Reminder III " ...... Since there was no reply from your side we believe that you are not open to amicable and mutual settlement of the matter, we are approaching the police/court for further action"
Even, if this does not have the desired action you can report to the Police or approach the Court through your lawyer for redressal.
Another important point to remember is please tell your lawyer to draft all the letters
Regards,
SC

Hi
