I would politely tell them to bugger off. Suggest that in fact you felt you were worth more and say that if they want to get money back, they should re-employ!

I may have a clue.. :rolleyes:

Notice at the bottom of the scanned letter the phrase "HR Customer Support". Now there's a concept born in the deepest, darkest pits of hell.

Letter? What letter? I asked my own former employer about my COBRA paperwork last week... they had mailed it to the wrong address. :sigh:

Hmmm what if you took your severance and moved to an exotic country with no forwarding address :cool:

Looking at the letter, the blanked out amounts look like they may be quite high, too!
