sample demand letter for wrongful termination

Dear [Employer],

I am writing to you regarding my recent termination from [Company Name]. As you are aware, my employment was terminated on [Date] without any justifiable cause or explanation.

Upon reviewing the circumstances leading to my termination, I have reason to believe that my termination was wrongful and in violation of my rights under employment law. As a result, I am demanding compensation for the damages caused by your actions.

Specifically, I am seeking the following damages:

• Lost wages: As a result of my wrongful termination, I have suffered financial losses due to the sudden loss of income. I am seeking compensation for the wages I would have earned had I not been terminated.
• Emotional distress: Your actions have caused me significant emotional distress and anxiety, which has affected my mental health and wellbeing. I am seeking compensation for the pain and suffering I have endured as a result of your wrongful termination.
• Punitive damages: Your conduct in terminating me without just cause was willful and malicious, and has caused me significant harm. I am seeking punitive damages to hold you accountable for your actions and to deter future wrongful conduct.

I am prepared to take legal action if we are unable to reach a mutually satisfactory resolution. I urge you to consider the gravity of the situation and to take steps to remedy the harm you have caused.

Please respond to this letter within [number of days] days to discuss a resolution. If I do not hear from you by this deadline, I will be forced to pursue legal action to recover the damages I am entitled to under the law.

Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter.

Sincerely,

[Your Name]
