Demand Letter for Money
At this time, our demand letter tool helps you with any type of demand letter except if you select the "Other" option. If none of the options best fit your situation, consider selecting the "Get Money Back" option and converting your request into a dollar amount to proceed.
When writing a demand letter, sometimes it's best to convert your request into a dollar amount. This makes it clear to the person or business you are sending the letter to how much you would be willing to accept to resolve the matter. The idea behind sending someone a demand letter is that they may agree to settle the problem before you escalate suing in court.
Here are some best practices:
- Consider the market value of the property that was damaged.
- Consider the additional costs you have spent resolving the problem.
Here are some examples of converting your request to a dollar amount:
- If someone damaged your property, you would request the market value of your property.
- If someone injured your dog, you would be sending a demand letter for the amount you believe your dog is worth.
- If someone hit your car, you would request the cost to fix your car.
- If someone illegally towed your car, the costs you have spent in getting your car back.
- If an airline loses your bags, add up all the costs you have spent while your bags were lost, plus the costs of the contents inside your bag.
