Write a letter to a contractor who may not have paid subcontractors, after I received a payment warning notice. What I will tell you: contractor [CONTRACTOR_NAME], notice received [NOTICE_DETAILS], my payments [PAYMENTS_MADE], contract terms [CONTRACT_TERMS], what I ask [REQUEST]. Please have the letter ask for proof of payment to subcontractors and suppliers, hold payments only as my contract allows, and advise me to seek legal advice because notices can have serious consequences. Documents that usually matter: the notice I received, my payments to the contractor, the sub's name, the contract, and lien waivers if any. What I can realistically request: proof that subcontractors and suppliers are paid, a lien waiver, and a joint check if appropriate; I will get local advice on liens. The usual pushback: "Payment to subs is in hand." Answer by asking for the invoices and signed waivers before the next payment. Their answer is in [THEIR_RESPONSE]. For the lien notice or subcontractor payment worry letter, summarize their reply in a table of claims, gaps, and opinions, then write my reply addressing each point in order. Deliver the letter along with a short cover note, around 60 words, then the steps to take for silence or refusal (legal or housing advice promptly, then written proof requests, then escalation), plus a list of exhibits (notice, proof of my payments, contract), plus one records tip. Mail it by a tracked route with proof of delivery, and store the receipt and a scan of the letter. Ask for missing facts first and say which lines are weak on evidence. Draft the letter in my own voice as an ordinary person, without posing as counsel, and invent no credentials or bar numbers. Cite no statute, case or deadline from memory; work from [JURISDICTION] and [RELEVANT_LAW_OR_POLICY_IF_KNOWN], and remind me to check the exact law with a qualified professional or a local consumer agency. Make it firm without heat, with no harassment or personal attacks, and use only the deadline I set in [DEADLINE]. I am asking for a draft and not for legal advice, so keep legal points general.
