February 5, 2015 Avis Ku 20 Victoria Street, 6th Floor Toronto, ON M5C 2N8 aviskmk@cbcf.org Abby Chiu Junior Project Assistant Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation 62 Robin Street, Apt. 3B, Toronto, ON M4D 2P3 Dear Abby Chiu, This letter is to confirm our discussion today that your employment with Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation will be terminated effectively as of Monday, February 8, 2015. As you know, our organization has been experiencing the decrease of public funding and donations over the past two years. Due to the various budget-cutting measures, we can no longer keep you as Junior Project Assistant in our organization. We regret doing this terribly, but we have no other option. Over the next three months, we will start eliminating our workforce from 20 employees to 15 employees. We deeply appreciate the loyalty of our employees. However, we believe that loyalty is a two way street. Therefore, we have decided to retain our workforce with the greatest amount of seniority and experience. Although you have only worked here for six months, you are a very talented project assistant with your efficient work performance. I feel confident that you will find another suitable position in the near future. Within this week, a representative from Human Resources Department will contact you for a meeting. During this meeting, you will discuss further employment opportunities and learn about your separation benefits. Also, an outplacement firm will provide you counseling and assistance in finding a new employment quickly. We thank you for your dedication and hard work during your employment with Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation. We regret the necessity of this action and wish you the best of luck in your future endeavors. If you would like, I would be pleased to write a recommendation letter as your job references. Sincerely,

Avis Ku Executive Director of Canadian Breast
