Dear Sir / Madam,

Serving a notice of resignation by email is legally valid. The Company cannot deny having received your intimation of resignation. Besides, no Company can force its employee to work against the employees wishes. If you have not signed any Performance / Service Bond, you should reply to the legal notice accordingly. The Company does not have any legal right to retain your original certificates, you should ask them to immediately return your Certificates back to you. Tell the Company straightaway that you are unable to pay them any money for having quit service.

Regards,
