you say nothing and move on |

Why would you write him a letter? What would you hope to accomplish by this? You think your boss is unaware of what he did?
FYI - in most states you don't have to have a reason (good or otherwise) to terminate an employee. |

What do you want it to say? What are the circumstances.....maybe you should appeal it to human resources.... |

If you are not in a union your boss can let you go for pretty much no reason at all. Unless you can prove you were fired for being pregnant, a woman, or disabled you don't really have a case. Your boss can say they are downsizing, taking the company in a different direction, or any number of things. |

Get a lawyer, and if you are in a unionized profession, seek your union's bargaining representative. |

Been there. The first question would be why are you writing this letter? Do you hope to get your job back? If you do not have any hope of getting your job back the best thing to do is let it go and move on. I know it's hard. I used to have dreams of being in a court and getting 'exonerated'. Now, if there is hope of regaining your position, do not appeal to the person who fired you. Appeal to their boss, your personnel department, or a governing agency. You might google your state's Labor Board and then call them and explain your situation. Best of luck! |

Don't write to the Ex boss! Get in touch with your State Unemployment office as soon as possible!!! Any communication with the ex boss may damage your ability to file an insurance claim. |

I'm sorry to disappoint you, but they don't necessarily need a good reason to fire you. Are you covered by a union contract? If not, you have little recourse. Most states have "at-will" employment laws. That means that you can be fired at any time for any reason that is not specifically prohibited by law. Prohibited reasons include discrimination due to race, religion, national origin, gender, and age.
If you can prove discrimination, then call a lawyer. If you can't, then forget about it and move on. Either way, there is nothing to be gained by writing a letter. |

Never put anything in writing you don't want made public. If you are compelled to write a letter to let your feelings be known to your boss, go ahead...write a long one, but NEVER send it. Let this go. It will be a blip in your life, and this old job and your old boss will be nothing but a faded memory a year from now. Silence is golden in this situation. Do YOURSELF a favor and move on...don't look back. You'll be fine. |

One word. DON'T
1) File a grievance with your union, if applicable.
2) Check with a lawyer if you have proof of wrongful termination.
3) If you're bound and determined to write the letter, make sure you are factual and respectful. Don't reveal anything that can be used against you if this goes to arbitration or court.
Best of luck. |

Let it go. It will do no good.
If you truly have a wrongful termination case, have your lawyer write a letter. |

Don't write the letter. If you believe you were wrongfully terminated, contact the Department of Labor. If they decide to investigate, your boss will be the one who will need to prove you were not wrongfully terminated. You may also want to contact an attorney who specializes in labor disputes and wrongful terminations. You will also need facts to back up your case. |

It is often hard to have a clear head when you are angry. I think the best solution would to go over the ex bosses head and talk to their superiors. |

Explain the reasons for your unhappiness about being terminated as Clearly & Simply as possible (& DON'T use any expletives!). And be Respectfull. If he doesn't care- you won't hear from him. But if he DOES- maybe he'll reply. Either way, DON'T get your hopes up. Some bosses are not worth the trouble getting upset over... |
