If you want to get a demand letter sent today, you have two main options:
- Draft it yourself, or
- Hire a lawyer or use an online legal service that offers same-day delivery (email and certified mail).
The letter should include:
- The amount owed ($7,145)
- A description of the services provided
- A summary of your prior attempts to collect
- The consequences for nonpayment (e.g., cancellation of certificates)
- A firm payment deadline (e.g., “within 7 business days”)
- Clear contact info and preferred payment method
Send it via email for speed and follow up with certified mail or courier to make it official and documented.
If they don’t respond, you’ll be positioned to escalate — either through small claims court or a formal collection action.

How can I get a demand letter sent to an individual that owes my company money today?
I understand the urgency of your situation. Have you already tried contacting the individual directly regarding the debt?
Yes.
Can you provide details on the amount owed and any previous communication or agreements related to the debt?
The individual was notified in March that a substantial amount was due to be paid to our company in exchange for services we have provided to him.
He made attempts to pay down the debt, but after April of this year has made no further contact or attempt to pay anything else.
We have reached out to him both via phone and text, to no avail.
The last time we spoke to him, we sent him a message explaining that we would officially cancel services and cancel any training completion certificates that we had issued prior if we did not receive payment of previous invoices.
That message was sent on June 11, 2025.
The amount owed now sits at $7,145.
Is there anything else the lawyer should know before I connect you? Rest assured they’ll be able to help with your demand letter.
Yes.
Hello! My name is Michael, and I'm an attorney ready to help! Your responses matter to me, so I only need a few minutes to review and respond to each of your posts.
To clarify — do they owe your business or you personally?
The business.
