Sending your letter in New York
This page tailors the letter for New York. A cease and desist letter is not filed with a court — it is sent directly to the other party — but keeping a dated copy and proof of delivery is especially useful if you later pursue a matter in New York's courts, small claims court, or through a protective order. Deadlines and available remedies vary by state, so treat the timeframe in your letter as a reasonable demand rather than a statutory rule.
In New York, sending the letter by certified mail with return receipt (in addition to email or hand delivery) gives you documented proof that the recipient received your demand — valuable evidence if the conduct continues.
