We regret to inform you that your employment with [Company Name] as a Bookkeeper is terminated
effective immediately.
This decision is the result of an internal investigation into discrepancies in our accounting records which

Theft, particularly by an employee entrusted with the company’s financial dealings, is a severe breach of
trust and cannot be tolerated. We have always emphasized integrity and transparency in all our operations,
and it is unfortunate that your actions have led to this outcome.
Please return all company property, including keys, documents, and electronic devices, by the end of
today. Your final paycheck will be available on [date], which will include pay for all hours worked up to
today's date, minus any deductions according to applicable laws.
Please be aware that this termination will be documented in your employment record, and while we will
provide factual information about your employment dates and position held, we will also have to disclose
the reason for termination if requested by future employers.
You may contact [HR Person’s Name] at [HR Person’s Contact Information] to arrange the return of
