Formatted to print cleanly

The letter is laid out for 8.5 × 11 inch paper with sensible margins, so what you print matches what you see — no cut-off lines or reflowed text.

Print it single-sided on plain white paper. A printed, ink-signed letter reads as more serious than an email and gives you a physical original to keep.

Sign, send, and keep proof

Sign the printed letter in ink and date it. Send it by certified mail with return receipt requested, and consider a regular first-class copy as well in case the recipient refuses the certified envelope.

File your signed copy together with the certified-mail receipt. If the behavior continues, that record is what supports a protective order, a complaint, or a court filing later.
