Demand letter

Prepare demand letter using your own facts, evidence and verified legal grounds.

What you will prepare

  • Material facts (one paragraph per fact)
  • Losses, calculation and supporting documents
  • Proposed terms

Information to have ready

Sender and recipient names and addresses, letter date, proposed delivery method, a response date checked for your situation, relevant facts, requested remedy and supporting records. No court caption is required by this drafting tool.

Review before sending

Check the facts, amount and requested remedy, applicable requirements, recipient, response deadline, confidentiality and signature before sending. Arrange delivery yourself and keep its evidence. Exporting a draft does not send the letter or prove receipt.

This is a general correspondence worksheet. US requirements depend on the jurisdiction and dispute; no state-specific legal review is claimed. The federal court resources below are not a demand-letter form.

Fictional writing examples

Examples are inspiration only. Replace every detail with your verified facts; opening an example never adds it to your case.

Material facts (one paragraph per fact)

On 12 March 2026, Alex Example paid Example Services 240 CAD for a repair scheduled for 20 March. The payment receipt is exhibit P-1. These names, dates and amounts are fictional.

Losses, calculation and supporting documents

Illustrative calculation: payment 240 CAD - refund received 40 CAD = outstanding amount 200 CAD. Attach evidence for each amount; do not add unverified fees or interest.

Proposed terms

Describe the specific resolution sought, how the recipient can respond, and a response date you have checked for this situation. Do not assume an example deadline applies to your case.
