How to Use a Demand Letter
Select the template that matches your dispute type from the list above.
Replace every [BRACKETED FIELD] with your specific information: names, dates, amounts, and facts.
Gather supporting documents: receipts, photos, contracts, bank records. Send copies — keep originals.
Mail the letter with certified mail and return receipt requested. This creates a documented record of delivery.
Give the other party 10–14 days to respond. If they don't, you have documented evidence that they were formally notified.
