Paper 1

Following my sending on compulsory leave to pave way for a conclusive investigation in what the Human Resources Manager termed as insubordination at the workplace, I intend to let you know that I have discovered that you played a significant part in influencing the Human Resource Manager’s decision. As my work colleague and once a trusted friend, we both know that this is a baseless propaganda in which I am yet to ascertain the motives. I have also discovered that you approached the manager with allegations that besides verbally and openly questioning the integrity and trust of our team leader, I defied and worked towards opposing any instructions given by the team leader in the presence of fellow colleagues.

My biggest concern is that I feel hurt, betrayed and displeased not by the manager’s decision to send me on compulsory leave but because of your significant input in the allegations. What makes me feel even more disappointed is the fact that you and I both know that I am not that type of an employee who would risk it all to damage the reputation of a team leader without any evidence to support my case. I am not certain of what your motives were in propagating this propaganda but surely I feel pain not necessarily because I will be out of work for the next six months pending the investigations but because of the impact that this move will have on my career going forward irrespective of whether or not the findings of the investigation will come in my favor.

For the sake of honesty, our relationship as friends and colleagues and the pain you would have to endure if the evidence you have against me proves to be insufficient, I would request you to take the appropriate action and initiative of approaching the Human Resources Manager as well as the team leader informing them that it was just a misunderstanding and that you and I are going to resolve any issues that could have led to such allegations.

Paper 2

As my family doctor and therapist, I feel obliged to let you know that all has not been well with me over the last couple of months since I was sent on compulsory leave pending investigations relating to insubordination issues. For your information and for the sake of sincerity, I had nothing to do with insubordination. However, for the record, I have a history of fighting for the rights of people whom I feel are mistreated with no exception of fellow employees whom I feel are discriminated against and mistreated in terms of remunerations, promotions among others. My colleague and I have been friends since high school. In fact, we have been competing in almost all aspects of life; academics, sports, job performance, business and success in life. I believe and I am fully convinced that the allegations were triggered by the fact that I was in the verge of securing a promotion to becoming a team leader. This was an attempt to stop the promotion.

The fact that I have been jobless since I was suspended has done more bad than good. I have been dealing with emotional pain, extreme stress, feelings of betrayal, inability to settle bills, sleepless nights, headaches (sometimes migraines), loneliness and loss of appetite. As a matter of fact, I have had suicidal ideation on several instances since I was suspended from work. I have been hospitalized once since then and diagnosed with depression.

I believe you are not aware that as a teenager I had also been diagnosed with depression and Post Traumatic Stress Disorder after an accident that claimed the life of my best friend. I also had the same suicidal ideation following that incident to the extent of taking a whole bottle of whisky all by myself. Certainly, I need the investigation to conclude so that I can know my fate. This is the only way to move forward.
