Appraisal letter

The document is an appraisal letter that provides feedback on an individual's performance over a one-year period. The letter is addressed to the employee and highlights the importance of the appraisal process. It begins with the sender's contact information, including the company name, address, phone number, and email. The recipient's name and address are also included.

 

The letter starts with a salutation and a reference to the performance appraisal feedback. It informs the employee that their performance has been reviewed and found unsatisfactory.
