But suddenly I got the below mail from employer stating to travel back,

As per our discussions as of Mid October 2009 and today I am recommunicating the fact that based on our Engagements Rotation of resources policy you will be getting transferred to the yyyyyyyy(asia). Development center on Friday dd Jan 2010. You can join office in <placex> on the immediate following working day or on a day, within the next 15 calendar days from your last date in our German office, to be communicated by you in advance.

Please bear in mind that so as not to inconvenience our employees with a last minute decision we have always communicated the fact that they are being rotated and provided the tentative date of rotation at least 3 months in advance as was also true in your case where we communicated to you in October 2009 that you will be leaving Germany around end Jan 2010.

Fact is that, they only called me for a short meeting in Nov and asked about my willingness to travel back. I said no. Later they just kept quiet for some time and suddenly they called for a meeting today and asking to travel. I surprised and asked for termination letter. So, without giving the termination letter, they are giving the above mail.

What to do in this case?
Can any one give me a legal advice on this?

If any one tells me how to contact lawyer in this site also fine.
