You should arrange a consultation with a lawyer to review the terms of the writings that you have, including the complete bonus policy or plan. Eligibility for a bonus may be distinct from entitlement to receive a bonus upon the satisfaction of specified conditions.

The answer to your question largely depends on the precise working of the offer letter. The offer letter will need to be clear that you are entitled to the bonus. Second, if there is a discretionary aspect to the bonus it wilt greatly complicate any potential claim.
