I am sorry dude, I am still unclear what exactly you are after.

As an employee who has worked for 15 months, you are entitled to 2 weeks of any combination of 1) Working Notice or 2) Compensation/Severance at the employer's choice. From what you said above, they sent you an email saying "you have 2 weeks left to work and then we no longer need you." That's 2 weeks of Working Notice - you aren't entitled to anything else, period.

The fact it was by email makes absolutely no difference - either they provided notice, or they did not. If they did, then you got the 2 weeks notice you should have, case closed. Since you clearly know you are getting laid off, the only way they "didn't" provide notice is if you pretend you didn't get it.

I don't know why you are phoning somebody - it's not like they are going to say "oh, they emailed you instead of registered mail - okay, you get 4 weeks!"
