You’ll notice that any facts given, such as the date of termination and any examples of reasons for termination, are as specific as possible.

Dear Ms. Walters,
This letter confirms your dismissal from the New Cityland Police Department, where you have worked as a police officer for the past two years, for poor performance and repeated lapses in judgment. Your termination is effective immediately.
You failed to appear in court on at least five occasions when you were required to testify regarding traffic citations you issued, resulting in those cases being thrown out. You were also accused of excessive force during at least three routine traffic stops, with all incidents captured by your dashboard camera. These repeated violations are unacceptable and not appropriate for an officer working for our department.
Payment for your accrued personal days, sick days and vacation days will be included in your final paycheck, which will be direct deposited to your account this Friday, which is your normally scheduled date of deposit. You are more than welcome to schedule another meeting with me to further discuss this matter.
Regards,
Lieutenant Mark Abrams
