Create a breach of contract demand letter

Describe the agreement, what each side promised, what you performed, how the other party breached, and the cure or compensation you demand. The PDF organizes those facts without inventing a state statute, cause of action, damages theory, or prediction.

What facts should a contract demand letter state?

Identify the contract, the relevant obligation, your own performance or readiness to perform, the specific breach, the loss or unresolved obligation, prior cure attempts, and the remedy requested. Use dates and concrete acts. Avoid legal conclusions that are not needed to explain the dispute, and do not describe disputed conduct as fraud or a crime without an independent basis.

Should I demand money or performance?

The letter can demand payment, performance, correction, delivery, or another defined cure. Choose the result that matches the agreement and the facts. When demanding money, enter a supported amount and explain how it relates to the breach. The generator does not calculate consequential damages, interest, penalties, fees, or the value of uncertain future loss.

Does the letter satisfy a contractual notice clause?

The generator does not assume that it does. A contract may specify the recipient, address, delivery method, content, or time for notice. The user should compare the final letter and delivery plan with the contract. The PDF states the entered facts but does not guarantee compliance with an unseen notice, cure, arbitration, venue, or limitation clause.

Is this a settlement agreement?

No. A demand letter requests a result and records a position; it does not document a final compromise or release. If the parties reach an agreement, they may need a separate settlement document stating payment, performance, releases, confidentiality, default, and other negotiated terms. This generator does not create that agreement.
