Dear Mr. XXX

This is a formal letter regarding your unauthorized absences / job abandonment.

As of the date of this letter, you have been absent from work for 2 months, you last reported on February 14, 2018. Because your absence has not been approved and we have not heard from you for months, we have determined that you have abandoned your position.

We have made several attempts to contact you directly about this matter to no avail. You have not responded to requests and instructions we relayed to your brother, Michael Vergara, that you directly report in the office to discuss your circumstances in person. We have not received any formal notification or advice from you nor agreed on your long absence from work.

As we have no way of determining if you still plan to report to work, we have no alternative but to assume that you do not intend to return and have abandoned your employment with us. The foregoing acts constitute a just cause for termination under Article 282 of the Labor Code; specifically letter (e) Analogous causes i.e. abandonment and neglect of work.
