NOTICE OF DISMISSAL

After a long discussion and examination of all the evidences, including your letter of explanation
dated June 2, 2004, you are found guilty of Willful disobedience by committing the following acts:

 Refusal to render overtime work which resulted to delays in the delivery of output, client
dissatisfaction, and additional costs on Graphics, Inc.
 Failure to observe prescribed standards of work and to fulfill reasonable work assignments due to
inefficiency
 Lack of discipline in regularly and punctually reporting for work.
 Habitual tardiness and chronic absenteeism

Being the machine operator of the company, you are responsible to set up, maintain and operate
machinery, and ensure the interminable and efficient running of production. A great machine operator is
reliable and able to work with attention to detail and prescribed standards. As stated above, such
irregularities are unacceptable and cannot be tolerated as it is an impediment rather than a step in the
direction of increasing business growth. As reflected in the Job description, you were expected to ensure
timely preparation and availability of all production materials to avoid shortage during production, and
report to supervisor regularly to keep them updated on production activities and progress.

In sum, you have not demonstrated an ability to perform the essential functions of the position at an
acceptable level after this substantial period of time.

As such, we regret to inform you that the company management has decided to terminate you from
the employment at NEW AGE GRAPHICS, INC.

We are very disappointed of the circumstances that have necessitated this action, but we wish you
every success in your future endeavors.

Very truly yours,

Ma. Kristiana M. Geling
