Dear Lucy:

I provided child care services for your daughter, Mary, from January 1, 20xx to April 1, 20xx at a fee of $150 per week. On April 1, 20xx you informed me that you would not be bringing Mary back any more. At that time you owed me for $150 for the week of March 28 - April 1st.

You did not give me a two week written notice, which our contract requires. You therefore owe me $300 for this two-week notice period (April 4 - April 15).

I am requesting that you pay me $300 by May 13, 20xx. If I do not hear from you by then, I will have no choice but to take legal action against you, at which time I will sue you for $300, plus all court costs.

Sincerely,


Paula Provider
