Dear Petunia,

This letter will confirm that your position with the Everything is Coming Up Roses Project has been eliminated due to lack of funding. As a result, your employment with ECURP will be terminated effective February 28, 2009. 

This letter outlines the conditions of your involuntary termination of employment. You will be paid any accrued vacation hours you have as of February 28th. Your group-sponsored health and dental insurance will end on March 31, 2009. Enclosed you will find information and an election form regarding COBRA which is available to you beginning April 1, 2009. All other benefits end on your last day of employment. 

Feel free to call me with any questions about insurance continuation. In addition, I have enclosed information and forms on "How to File for Unemployment Insurance Benefits” which includes important information on how to file a claim with the Division of Unemployment Assistance.  

Petunia, we are grateful for the role you have played at ECURP and the contribution you’ve made to this important work. 

Please feel free to call me with any questions. 

Sincerely,
Rainy Day, Director
