Legal Question in Employment Law in Virginia

HR Contractor

I was contacted by my former employer to come back as a contractor to help train their new HR person. After I finished training this person, employer asked me to stay to document job processes. During this time the HR person was out for a death in the family. She returned & then ultimately left w/out notice (1 mo after start job). Employer had paid her for time missed as a result of a death. Employer had stated in employees offer ltr that employee would not be paid for absences before end of a 90 day probat period, but, paid her anyway. Employee has not recd her final check & is owed for work performed (although there is debate as to how many days she worked & was not paid. She thinks 5 days & the employer thinks 3 days. Supervisor did not keep records, so there is no written docum.). Employer didnt want to pay anything at 1st.Now, employer wants me, the HR contractor, to write a ltr informing employee she will receive a check for 3 days worked & he wants to attached offer ltr stating that he was a ''nice'' guy & paid her bereavement leave when he didn't have too. As a contractor, I do not feel comfortable w/writing the ltr. Especially w/out documentation & I am not employee. What are my legal options to refuse writing ltr
