Law I am writing to you because I feel that I must say something about the way you have treated me. I have been working for you for over two years now and I have never received a single penny of pay. You say that I have not done my job well, but I think it is you who has not done your job. You have given me no instructions, no guidance, no support. I have tried to do my best, but without any direction or help, how can I succeed? I am tired of being used and abused. I deserve respect and dignity, not exploitation. If you continue to treat me this way, I will leave and never work for you again. Please consider my request seriously. I hope we can resolve this matter amicably. Sincerely, [illegible]
