Sample Breach of Contract Demand Letter

How to Write a Demand Letter for Breach of Contract?

Follow these steps to compose a Demand Letter for Breach of Contract:

1. Write down your full name, address, and other contact details to offer subsequent communication regarding the issue.
2. Indicate the date you draft the letter and insert the name of the recipient.
3. List facts that confirm the breach of the agreement. You need to describe what happened in chronological order and state precise details - for instance, the name and date your contract was signed, the clause that was breached, and the lack of action that followed. Alternatively, you can record the violation of the agreement if the breaching party has taken direct steps to break the terms of the contract. You can also refer to your correspondence with the recipient to demonstrate their intention to fulfill the contractual obligations.
4. Demand the other party to comply with the conditions of the contract. You can request payment, delivery of goods, provision of services, etc. Set the deadline - a few weeks should be enough to give the recipient time to satisfy your demands.
5. Be professional and polite. Your main goal should be to address the issue calmly and resolve it as fast as you can, so do not attack the recipient with threats and rude language.
6. Sign the letter and send it via certified mail to obtain proof of delivery. You can add supplemental documentation if you like - for example, a copy of the agreement if you suspect the other party may have lost it or other statements and agreements that verify the recipient's commitments. If the other party ignores this document or tries to avoid their obligations, you can pursue other options - for instance, file a lawsuit.
