Write a letter of proposal from the lawyer's perspective, giving recommendations on the matter expressed in the topic below.

Michael Smith works as a commercial agent. Two months ago he started acting for a company which produces stationery products and exports them to Philippines. When sales volumes build, the principal wanted to terminate the contract with him. However, the contract was valid for six months and the principal told him to pay only for two months. Michael Smith became the victim of this situation and wanted to get indemnity but the principal refused to compensate him.


Dear [Client],
I am writing to you in regards to the matter of Mr. Michael Smith, a commercial agent who has been acting on behalf of your company producing stationery products. As per the information shared, the situation is such that Mr. Smith has been terminated prematurely by the principal despite a valid contract for six months and has been requested to pay for only two months of his services.
From a legal perspective, it is imperative that the terms of the contract between the principal and the commercial agent be thoroughly evaluated to determine if there has been any breach of contract. If there has been a breach, then Mr. Smith may be entitled to compensation for damages suffered as a result of the termination of his services.
In light of this, I recommend the following steps be taken to address the situation:
1. A review of the contract between the principal and Mr. Smith to determine the exact terms and conditions agreed upon.
2. An assessment of the circumstances leading to the termination of Mr. Smith's services to determine if there has been a breach of contract by either party.
3. Consideration of alternative dispute resolution methods, such as mediation or arbitration, to resolve the matter in a timely and cost-effective manner.
4. If a resolution cannot be reached through alternative dispute resolution, proceeding with a legal claim in the appropriate jurisdiction to seek compensation for damages suffered.
I would be happy to assist you in this matter and provide further legal advice as needed. Please let me know if you would like to proceed with any of the above recommendations.
