False accusations of poor performance by boss

Posted by: SomeAdvice

First off, I would like to thank everyone for providing their advice.

My situation is that my boss issued me a "poor perforamce" letter. He had several comments/accusations in this letter which is truly unfounded. For example, there was an issue that he claimed I never informed him about, but I have proof in a e-mail that he was carbon copied on this issue. There are multiple accusations in his letter of which I can refute with concrete evidence. I have written a response letter, with back-up evidence to show that all his claims are incorrect and unfounded, but am unclear on how to continue to approach this issue. Should I go to Human Resources first and tell them that the letter given to me was totally inaccurate and is riddled with false accusations? I'm confused as to how to proceed, because I know that it will make our work relationship unbearable. Should I request a transfer out of the department or just look to get out of the company, even though I enjoy working there?
