RE: Formal Demand — Contract Substitution / Honour of Original Signed Job Offer
To the management of Falcon Facilities Management WLL:
I, Joshua A., a national of Kenya, write to place you on formal notice that the employment contract you have applied to me since my arrival in Qatar on 2 February 2026 materially differs from the job offer I signed in Nairobi on 12 December 2025, through your recruitment agent Horizon Manpower.
The material substitutions you have applied are: lower wage than promised (promised USD 650, actually paid QAR 1,800 ≈ USD 495), different job role (promised supervisor; actually performing general cleaner), and longer working hours.
Under Article 38 of Qatar Labour Law No. 14 of 2004, the employment contract is in writing, attested by the Department of Labour, and includes the agreed terms. I have NOT freely consented to the substitution; any 'consent' at the airport was procured by economic coercion and is not a free and informed consent at law.
I therefore demand that you EITHER honour the original signed offer (paying the back-difference and restoring the agreed terms) OR release me with full end-of-service entitlements, the original-offer wages for time worked, and a paid return ticket to Kenya. Please respond within 14 days.
The full letter — including the statute citations for your state — is shown above. Only the recipient block, signature, and mailing instructions are masked. They appear in the PDF you download after payment ($5).
Your Situation
Tell us about both contracts — the one you signed back home, and the one you got on arrival.

GCC contract-registration obligations + ILO General Principles on Fair Recruitment — UAE FDL 33/2021 Art 8, Saudi Arts 50/51/52, Qatar Law 14/2004 Art 38, Oman RD 53/2023, Bahrain Decree-Law 36/2012, Kuwait Law 6/2010 + Min. Res. 535/2015
Every GCC state registers the employment contract with the labour authority. Materially changing the agreed terms on arrival without your informed consent is contract substitution — the ILO's #1 forced-labour indicator.
