Is the template really free?

Yes. You can preview your entire letter and download a free blank template without an account. A small one-time fee applies only if you want a formatted, ready-to-send download.

Do I have to use the template, or can it write the letter for me?

Both. Download a blank template and fill it in yourself, or answer a few questions and have the generator write a finished letter for your exact situation — free to preview either way.
