Demand Letter
You're owed something — a refund for a service that was canceled, payment on an invoice that's gone unpaid, the return of property someone is holding, or completion of work you already paid for. Calls and emails haven't worked. A written demand creates a dated record and, more often than people expect, gets the matter resolved before anyone goes to court. LetterLotus helps you put together a firm, factual letter that lays out the facts and asks for what you're owed by a specific date.

What Your Demand Letter Covers
- Four sub-types in one tool: unpaid invoice, refund, return of personal property, or completion of paid work
- A clear, factual statement of the underlying transaction (what was paid, what was promised, what went wrong)
- A specific remedy — refund amount, invoice amount owed, named property to be returned, or named deliverables to be completed
- A specific deadline (typically 14 days from the date of the letter) and documentation of prior informal attempts
- A neutral mention of small-claims court as the next step if the deadline is missed
