they gave me a notice to explain right after i have tendered my resignation.i didnt know that they were investigating me in the first place. if the case was the other way around then i wouldnt be asking any questions.the resignation came first before i even knew anything about the investigation.my letter was addressed to the manager who "received" it w/c i think signifies acceptance as she is my immidiate boss and that she represents management of the company.she may probably made a mistak signing it but as far as i know,affixing your signature in a document signifies "acceptance" or validation.regarding the filing of criminal case i know they could but im just taking things one step at a time.actually it was my lawyer who advised me not to attendd the proceedings since in his interpretation and understanding that i am a resigned employee..if they would file a criminal case,i dont know,it is beyond my control.as for the moment,my concern is for them not to terminate me.thanks for your input though..appreciate it.
