How Do I Politely Write a Termination Letter to a Senior Consultant Due to Budget Cuts?

Dear Seniors,

Greetings. We would like to discontinue the services of one of the consultants who is currently rendering his services to our company. He is one of the senior personnel. However, due to some internal financial crises within the company, we have to make the difficult decision to terminate his services as part of our cost-cutting measures.

Steps to Follow:

1. Check his consulting/employment agreement.
2. After validating the terms and conditions, use a template from this forum and customize it to your needs.
3. Prior to issuing the letter, my recommendation is to have a joint meeting with his senior and inform him verbally of the course of action you intend to take.
4. If he does not offer his resignation, issue the letter.
