Why send it as a PDF

A PDF keeps your letter looking exactly the way you wrote it on any device or printer, which matters when the document may later end up in front of a judge, a police officer, or the other side's lawyer.

Unlike an editable file, a PDF is awkward to alter quietly. That makes it the right format for the copy you keep as your dated record of the demand.

Print it and send by certified mail

Open the PDF, print it on plain letter-size paper, and sign it in ink. Mail one copy by certified mail with return receipt requested and keep the receipt with your own copy.

That paper trail — the signed letter plus proof the recipient received it — is usually more valuable than the letter itself if the conduct continues.
