Dear Neha,
I do agree with Mr.Ramesh Bashyam.
Pl. return the money through a cheque (of course, crossed one) along with the letter stating the resignation and have a copy of both the letter and photocopy of the cheque to face the future problems, if any.
And you can right royally join in the new company.

The query began with an issue that Neha had received an Offer Letter and that she had not signed the Appointment Letter.
This was responded to by several memebers.
At a later stage, it is revealed that she had actually joined the Co. and had worked for seven days. This changes the complexion of things.
Ideally she should have a chat with her HR person and seek a dignified release on mutually agreeable terms and conditions. Just imagine, everything else remain equal, if the employer were to ask her to go...what would we advise her????
One should not forget that a lot of effort, time and money goes into finding the right candidate and if the selected candidate does what Neha wants to do, is it being fair to the employer.
The employer will have to start the process all over again!!!
My personal belief is that once you sign an Offer letter, you are morally bound to honour the commitment you have made (by signing the Offer Letter). I place a lot of value in "honouring Commitments". As employers, one may find better profiles AFTER issuing the Offer Letter for a position. But then you are committed to the person you have made the Offer to.
Cheers!!!

Hi Kid,
You have nothing to worry about. You must be having the Appointment Letter of the previous Co. You may also have some of the salary slips. Finally,you will certainly have a copy of your resignation letter, copy of your full and final settlement statement etc..
Once you are able to establish that you did join the Co. ( Copy of App. letter) that you did receive the promised salary ( salary slips, bank remittance) and that you did leave the organization (your resignation letter and its acceptance) and finally that you did receive your Full & Final Dues (Copy of the statement), you do not require your Experience Certificate.
Form 19 or Form 13A (Provident Fund) will also serve the purpose.
Best Wishes,

Hi Everyone,
It would be in everyone's interest if a query, complete in all respects, is made when seeking advice.
In Neha's case, the query began with her stating that she had received an Offer Letter and if she was required to give notice etc... later it was mentioned that she had actually joined the co., had worked for 7 days but had not signed the Appointment Letter.
Neha, if she had stated all these facts in one go, we could have given her "Complete" advice. She asked for advice in instalments and we also responded in instalments. This could have been avoided and useful time and effort could have been saved.
Someone has tried to explain the Law of Contract in extensive detail. Good information for everyone.
However, this effort reminds me of a story we got to study during school days.
There was a farmer and his wife who stayed in their farmhouse. One day they decided to go for a picnic in the woods.
The wife cooked all the goodies and packed a swell lunch and off they went.
As they went deep into the woods, the farmer happened to ask the Wife if she had locked the Door of the house properly.
The wife being what she was, wasn't too sure. She offered to go back to the house, check and come back soon.
So off she went to check if the door was indeed locked properly.
Later in the evening she returned, huffing and puffing, carrying the door on her back. Proud of her achievement, she plonked down before the farmer, truly but proudly tired.
The farmer was shocked to see her carrying the door. He asked why she did so.
She said that since the farmer had asked her to check if the Door had been locked properly, she thought the Door was so improtant and valuable, so she carried the door back with her lest someone take it away.
The mystery of narrrating this story is hidden in one of the responses to Neha's query. Find it and you will appreciate why I have narrated this story.
Cheers!!!!
