TK-024 — REQUEST TO WITHDRAW COMPLAINT (F)
(Message scripts + pressure-resistance protocol)
1. Purpose of This Template
Use TK-024 when any person or office asks, hints, or pressures HSWAGATA to withdraw, cancel, pause, or “take back” a complaint, report, or submission.
This template helps to:
Protect staff and custodians from pressure.
Keep the process lawful, calm, and ethical.
Respond without escalation or accusation.
Preserve evidence and institutional integrity.
2. What Counts as “Pressure”
Pressure may be:
Verbal (“Please withdraw; it will be easier.”)
Written (message asking to cancel).
Indirect (“If you withdraw, things will be smoother.”)
Repeated suggestions after refusal.
Framed as “advice” without written reasons.
Note: Pressure can be polite and still be pressure.
3. Immediate Safety Rule (Do This First)
When a withdrawal request appears:
Do not agree verbally or in writing.
Do not argue or accuse.
Do not destroy or alter records.
Start documentation immediately (Section 6).
4. Core Principles (B1 Language)
We respect all offices and persons.
We follow procedure and written records.
We do not withdraw complaints without clear written reasons and authority.
We protect faith, heritage, and public trust.
5. Standard Response Messages (Choose One)
Script A — Neutral and Safe (Best Default)
Thank you for your message.
We respectfully inform you that we are not able to withdraw the submission at this stage.
We will continue to follow the formal process and written procedures.
If there is any official instruction or legal basis, please kindly provide it in writing.
Script B — If the Request Is Verbal (Phone / In-Person)
Thank you for your guidance.
For our records and compliance, we can act only on written instructions from the competent authority.
Please kindly send any request in writing.
Script C — If They Ask for “Temporary Withdrawal” or “Pause”
We respectfully note your suggestion.
At this time, we will keep the submission active and await formal written guidance from the responsible authority.
Script D — If Pressure Is Repeated
We respectfully repeat that we cannot withdraw the submission without written instruction and legal basis.
We will maintain the current status and continue to cooperate through official channels.
(Do not add extra explanation.)
6. Pressure-Resistance Protocol (Step-by-Step)
Step 1 — Open a Pressure Log (Same Day)
Record:
Date / time
Who made the request
Channel (phone, message, in person)
Exact words (short phrases)
Witnesses (if any)
Step 2 — Preserve Evidence
Save:
Messages / emails
Call notes
Screenshots
Envelopes or headers
Step 3 — Convert Verbal to Written
If verbal:
Send a short confirmation note (like TK-023) saying:
“We understood that a request to withdraw was suggested.”
“Please correct us if this is not accurate.”
Step 4 — Do Not Act Alone
Any withdrawal decision must be collective:
At least two senior officers, or
Board / Advisory Council (if applicable)
Step 5 — Maintain Case Status
Keep the complaint active.
Continue normal follow-ups (case number, routing).
7. What You Must NOT Do
Do not say “We will withdraw later.”
Do not say “We agree in principle.”
Do not negotiate privately.
Do not accept gifts, favors, or “help” linked to withdrawal.
Do not change wording of the original complaint.
These actions create risk and conflict.
8. If a Written Withdrawal Is Formally Requested
If a written request arrives:
Check:
Is it from the competent authority?
Does it cite law / regulation / case number?
Does it explain reason and consequences?
If any item is missing:
Reply using Script A.
Ask for clarification and legal basis.
9. Ethical Note (Internal)
From Buddhist governance ethics:
Truthfulness (sacca)
Non-fear (abhaya)
Non-greed (alobha)
Protection of the sāsana and public faith
Withdrawal under pressure harms trust and creates long-term damage.
