RE: Final Demand for Payment — Unpaid invoice / services rendered

Dear Recipient:

This letter serves as a formal demand for payment of an outstanding invoice in the amount of $3,500, originally due on 2026-03-15. Details: Invoice #2026-0042 issued on March 15, 2026 for graphic design services rendered between January and March 2026. Despite previous communications, this amount remains unpaid. I am hereby providing you with a final opportunity to resolve this matter without further legal action. DEMAND: I demand payment of $3,500 in full no later than 2026-05-15 (14 days from the date of this letter). If payment is not received by that date, I will have no choice but to pursue all available legal remedies, which may include filing a civil claim in the appropriate court, reporting the debt to credit bureaus where applicable, and seeking recovery of additional costs including court fees and attorney's fees as permitted by law. This matter is serious. I hope it can be resolved without litigation.

Sincerely,

Sender Name

Important — not legal advice: demand letters are generally a precursor to legal action. They must comply with state law (FDCPA if a debt collector, varied state requirements). For amounts over a few thousand dollars, complex disputes, or anything involving a dispute over goods/services delivered: consult a lawyer. Send via certified mail, return receipt requested. Keep copies. Document all responses.
