"Downsizing" has reached Special Pioneers.
This is the template Mexico is using to get rid of many of its Special Pioneers. See how cold and unloving is the language they use.
A translation attempt is as follows:

Dear brother XXXXXXX:
We are sure you have received so much joy and satisfaction serving as a special pioneer in the Congregation XXXXXX. Though you surely experienced challenges along the way, the joys and blessings for putting kingdom interests first far outweigh the sacrifices. We are sure you accepted this assignment from the branch because of your desire to serve Jehovah wholeheartedly in areas where it was necessary to support the preaching work and congregation activities. We sincerely congratulate you for your willingness to serve in this altruistic manner.After reviewing our current needs, we have decided that your special pioneer assignment will conclude on January 1, 2016. Up until then you will continue receiving the usual monthly allowance. We understand you will need time to make the necessary arrangements (such as finding a job and housing or other arrangements); thus, we are pleased to inform you that as of this moment you are released from the monthly hour requirement. We are confident you will participate in the ministry as much as possible while taking care of these other necessary matters.
In view of the valuable experience you have gained in your ministry, we hope your circumstances will allow you to engage in the regular pioneering. To do so, you must submit an Application for Regular Pioneer Service (S-205) to the Service Committee of the Congregation. In that way, your full time service will not be interrupted. As a regular pioneer, you may choose the congregation in which you want to serve; however, we hope that, if possible, you can stay in your current assignment. If you move to another location, please talk to the circuit overseer or write to the Service Department to know where you might be more useful.
It is our understanding that this change may be unexpected. However, the Governing Body and the branch deeply appreciate your spirit of sacrifice. Please be assured that Jehovah will continue using you to strengthen his people wherever you might serve in the future. Remember also that he has the power to do much more than anything we could ask or imagine. So, be confident Jehovah will supply your daily needs (Eph. 3:20; Matt. 6:33, 34). Your faithful example will continue to encourage the brothers when they also face other challenges.
We send our warm Christian love.
Your brothers,
Cc. body of elders of XXXXXXX
XXXXXXXXX, XXX-00
