What this document does

A letter asking a person or business to stop specific conduct, such as unwanted contact, false statements, use of the sender's name or content, or breach of an agreement. It describes the facts, explains in plain words what the sender relies on, lists what the recipient is asked to do by a deadline, and states that the sender may take further action if the conduct continues.

What it covers

  • What Happened
  • What the Sender Relies On
  • What the Sender Asks You to Do
  • If the Conduct Continues

A template you fill in yourself from your own answers. LeaseCraft is not a law firm and does not give legal advice; for advice about your situation, talk to a lawyer.

Questions about the Cease and Desist Letter

A description of the conduct and when and where it happened, what the sender relies on in plain words, what the recipient is asked to do (for example stop the conduct, remove content, stop contact or return materials), a deadline, and what the sender may do if the conduct continues.

State only facts you can support with records, messages, screenshots or witnesses. Avoid insults, guesses about motives and statements you cannot prove, because an untrue statement in the letter could itself be defamatory.

Yes. Some disputes have their own formal procedures that may work alongside or instead of a letter. For example, many websites and online platforms have a formal process for reporting content that copies your copyrighted work and asking for its removal. Check whether such a procedure applies to your situation.

Not directly. By default it states that the sender may take further action to protect its rights, which may include legal action; you can instead choose wording that does not mention legal action. It never threatens criminal charges.

No. LeaseCraft is not a law firm and does not give legal advice. This is a document you prepare yourself from your own answers.
