Demand Letter Drafter
Draft a firm, professional demand letter that clearly states your client's legal position, the remedy demanded, and the consequences of non-compliance. A well-drafted demand letter can resolve disputes without litigation, establish a paper trail for future proceedings, and demonstrate the seriousness of your client's position.
Drafts a complete demand letter from the specified client's legal position — covering statement of facts, legal basis for the claim, specific harm and damages, precise demands with a stated deadline, and consequences of non-compliance — in the tone the attorney specifies: firm, escalated, or final warning. The output is a professionally structured letter with citation locations flagged rather than fabricated, ready for attorney review before sending to ensure no inadvertent admissions or extortionate language. Built for litigators and transactional attorneys who need to send a well-drafted demand that establishes a clear paper trail, demonstrates the seriousness of the client's position, and opens the door to resolution without unnecessary escalation or entrenchment by the receiving party.

How to use this prompt
1. Be specific about the demands — vague demands ('resolve this immediately') are not actionable. State exactly what you want and when.
2. Specify the tone carefully — a 'Final Warning' tone in a first letter can escalate unnecessarily and reduce settlement likelihood.
3. Review the draft for any statements that could constitute an admission or be read as a concession before sending.
