Hi...........
Archana.............
As far concern to the Offer and appointment letter, both are varies based on company's or organization's policy and nature of business.
Apart from this concern to the termination letter this is also based on reason of termination. So there is no any fix format.
You can frame this letter as per disciplinery action requirement.

Iquite agree with bhagwan, but at the same time on termination letters, be careful on the grounds of termination whereby the termnator can challeng his case in Labour law or courts in that matter.
ensure when your terminating a person that all resourceful disciplinary action and clause are followed... again depending on the nature of offence he/she is terminated.
Termination of a criminal charges is straight forward and that is once the courts have made a ruling against the employee then employer may issue the letter of termination but if it is of a personal nature or breach of policy I suggest you look at precedent set
My point is sometimes the terminator can, because company tend to overlook the processs or procedure of its internal resolution process and is liable for negligence or unfair termination the company can loss alot in terms of its reputation and monetary value and likewise the leadership position is question of his/her integrity of such decision made.
also the person prerparing the termination letter is question of his/her findings. So be very careful in terms of its legal implication should it be challenged in the courts of law
