Suzanne is giving good CYA advice on how to do this if it's your misfortune to have to do it.
Some of us remember a time, though, when we hadn't all signed never-ending "agreements" to being terminated for "any reason or no reason" on a cop-out of "position elimination", and when advance notice was often considered a moral obligation, even by corporations that are paper entities lacking "morals". It was a time before Dilbert, and before Ronald Reagan.
