    Definately dont sign anything and can i suggest you either go to the CAB or ring the Disability Right COmmission. All sorts of discrimination laws come into effect if you have or have had cancer. We rang them when we had an issue regarding my daughter- they have a helpline and were very very helpful 0845 604 6610

    Alan, I agree with everything that's already been said. Please, please, please don't sign ANYTHING that this man gives you without having proper legal advice first.

    Don't let him bully you.

    How shocking that someone can treat another person in such a disgusting manner. Apart from the fact that they sent you this horrendous letter, I think the least he/she could have done is speak to you face to face. What a bloody coward!

    I agree totally with what everyone else has said. Sign nothing! Get legal advice and don't let the bastard grind you down!

    Behind you all the way. Christine xx

    Here is the number for ACAS - 08457 474747.

    I agree with everyone - dont sign anything, it surely cannot be legal.

    Good luck.

    Hi Alan,

    I just remembered by Law . He Must first give you a verbal Warning,after that By law he must give you Three written warnings before he can sack you.

    So sign Nothing and if he hasnt done any of the above.Let ACAS or your Union or CAB.know.

    Take care Pal Keep in touch. Sarsfield.
