Letter of Demand

A letter of demand is a formal written communication sent by one party to another, asserting a legal claim or right and demanding specific actions or remedies. The purpose of a demand letter is to put the recipient on notice of the alleged violation or breach and to seek a resolution without resorting to legal action. The letter typically includes a description of the dispute or issue, the legal basis for the claim, the damages or losses incurred, and a deadline for the recipient to respond or comply with the demands. Demand letters are commonly used in various legal contexts, such as debt collection, contract disputes, intellectual property infringement, and personal injury claims. They serve as a prerequisite to filing a lawsuit and demonstrate the sender’s good faith efforts to resolve the matter amicably. A well-drafted demand letter should be clear, concise, and professional, and should strike a balance between asserting the sender’s rights and leaving room for negotiation.
