Subject: Official Warning - Violation of Alcohol Policy

Dear First Name Last Name,

I regret to inform you that on date, it was observed that you, along with other crew members, engaged in excessive alcohol consumption and returned to the vessel at an unacceptably late hour. This behavior is in direct violation of our ship's policies and professional standards.

Specific incidents noted:

• List specific
• fact-checked
• incidents here

I must remind you that our "Captain's Standing Orders Manual" and the "Drug and Alcohol Policy," prominently displayed in the crew mess, explicitly prohibit alcohol consumption on board or returning on board under the excessive effects of drugs or alcohol. This is strictly prohibited.

The gravity of this situation cannot be overstated. I urge you to reflect on this incident and recommit to upholding the high standards expected of our crew. Your future conduct should demonstrate a clear understanding of your professional responsibilities and a commitment to the safety and well-being of all on board.

We are thus obliged to issue you a warning, constituting the first level sanction of our internal regulations. In the event of another incident, we would be forced to take more severe actions against you, including an immediate dismissal.

If you have any questions about this warning or need clarification on our policies, please do not hesitate to speak with me directly.

Sincerely,

Captain's Name
