Can I send these templates as-is?
You can use them as a starting point, but edit dates, names, role details, and final pay questions so the message matches your employment contract and workplace process.
Should I mention a calculated amount in an email?
Usually it is safer to ask HR for a breakdown first. If you include an estimate, describe it as your own worksheet estimate and ask HR to confirm the official payroll calculation.
