Letter of Demand

A letter of demand is a legal document sent by one party to another, demanding that the recipient take a specific action or refrain from taking a specific action. The letter typically outlines the legal basis for the demand, the consequences of non-compliance, and a deadline for a response. Letters of demand can be used in various contexts, such as demanding payment of a debt, requiring the return of property, or insisting that a party cease engaging in infringing or harmful behavior. The purpose of the letter is to put the recipient on notice of the issue and to attempt to resolve the matter without resorting to legal action.
