How to structure a Warning Letter?

The letter should follow this structure:

• Recipient's address: This appears a line or two below the sender's address, aligned to the left of the letter.
• Date: Write the official date of the letter a line or two below the recipient's address.
• Subject Line: The subject of your letter should be clear and concise. For example, 'Warning Letter for Employee Name', followed by the reason for the reprimand.
• Salutation: You should follow a formal salutation such as 'Dear Mr. Ali'.
• Opening paragraph: Get straight to the point of the warning letter. List the problem clearly and meticulously, as well as the reason for issuing the letter. Include specific details within the first sentence. For example, if the event happened on a specific day, or if it is following a verbal warning that was carried out, it is advisable to date it.
• Body: Explain the action that's needed to correct the issue. For example, if you're implementing a correctional training scheme, list the specific details, along with the timeframe that will be given for improvement.
• Final paragraph: Advice what disciplinary action should follow. For example, if the next step is the termination of employment, you need to write it clearly in this paragraph. This will protect your company against any legal disputes, ensuring you have given the employee ample time for improvements.
• Closing: Conclude your letter on a positive note, showing that you believe there is enough time for the employee to improve. For instance, specify that you believe that they are a 'valuable asset to the organization'.
• Your name & signature: Since you will need a written copy, opt for a handwritten signature. Leave some space for the employee's signature at the bottom of the draft.
