Subject: NOTICE OF INTENT TO SUE AND FINAL DEMAND BEFORE SMALL CLAIMS FILING

Dear [DEFENDANT NAME],

Please accept this letter as a formal pre-suit demand and notice of intent to file a claim against you in [NAME OF COUNTY] Small Claims Court. This step has become necessary due to your persistent failure to resolve the outstanding dispute regarding [BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF DISPUTE, e.g., unpaid rent, damage to property, breach of contract].

On [DATE OF ORIGINAL DISPUTE/AGREEMENT], we entered into an agreement where you agreed to [TERMS OF AGREEMENT]. To date, you have failed to fulfill your obligations, resulting in a direct financial loss to me in the amount of [AMOUNT OF LOSS/DAMAGES]. Despite multiple requests for payment, the last being on [DATE OF LAST CONTACT], you have refused to make things right.

I have drafted the necessary court documents and am prepared to file them. However, in a final effort to avoid litigation and the associated public records, court fees, and time, I am offering you one last opportunity to settle this matter. I demand that you pay the sum of [AMOUNT OF LOSS/DAMAGES] by [DATE, e.g., 10 DAYS FROM TODAY].

If payment is not received in full by the deadline, I will proceed with filing the small claims lawsuit without further notice. Please be aware that I will also seek recovery of court costs and any interest permitted by law.

Sincerely,

[YOUR SIGNATURE]
