What should a breach of contract demand letter include?
A breach of contract demand letter should identify the agreement, the obligation at issue, what you performed or remained ready to perform, how the other party failed to comply, the resulting loss or unresolved obligation, earlier attempts to resolve the dispute, and the specific remedy requested. Use dates, actions, and concrete facts wherever possible.
Should I demand money or performance?
Demand the result that best matches the agreement and the breach. That may be payment, completion of promised work, delivery, correction of defective performance, or another defined cure. A monetary demand should use an amount that you can explain and support rather than uncertain future losses or automatically added fees, penalties, or damages.
Does a demand letter satisfy the contract’s notice requirements?
Not necessarily. A contract may require notice to a particular person or address, by a specified method, within a certain period, or before another remedy becomes available. Compare the completed letter and your delivery plan with any notice, cure, arbitration, venue, limitation, or dispute-resolution provisions in the contract.
Is a breach of contract demand letter a settlement agreement?
No. A demand letter states the sender’s position and requests a particular result. It does not document a final compromise, release claims, or establish the terms of a settlement. If the parties resolve the dispute, they may need a separate agreement covering payment or performance, releases, confidentiality, default, and other negotiated terms.

Scope of legal sources
Security-deposit and unpaid-wage letters include state-law citations only where a verified, applicable rule supports them. Invoice, contract, property-damage, and refund letters generally rely on the facts and terms supplied rather than generic state-law citations. The generator includes only supported statutes, deadlines, penalties, and remedies.
