Write a letter to a moving company that is asking for more money before it will unload or deliver my goods. What I will tell you: moving company [MOVER_NAME], estimate or contract number [CONTRACT_NUMBER], quoted price [QUOTED_PRICE], new amount demanded and reason [NEW_DEMAND], delivery date promised [PROMISED_DATE], what I have paid so far [PAID_SO_FAR], inventory list [INVENTORY]. The draft must state the agreed price, the later demand and the reason given, say that I will pay what the contract supports, and ask for delivery on a stated date with an itemised explanation of any extra. What to collect first: The signed estimate and bill of lading, the inventory, weighing tickets if any, messages about the new price, and photos of the load if available. Reasonable asks: Delivery at the agreed price, an itemised explanation of extra charges, payment of any undisputed part under protest, and a named supervisor. Expect a response like: Movers often cite weight differences or access problems; reply by asking for the weight ticket and the clause that allows the extra amount [VERIFY the contract and your local moving rules]. First build a chronology for the moving company holding goods until extra payment letter (when, what, document), mark undocumented dates, and then write the letter so it follows the timeline. Provide the finished letter together with a short cover note, around 50 words, followed by an escalation ladder if I am ignored (ask the dispatch manager, then the company's customer service office, then the moving regulator or trade association), then a list of exhibits (estimate, bill of lading, inventory, weight ticket, messages). Email the letter as a PDF and paste the text into the message, then keep the sent message with its full headers and follow up if no confirmation arrives. Write this in my own voice as a private individual, claiming no legal credentials. Quote no statute or time limit from memory; use [JURISDICTION] and [RELEVANT_LAW_OR_POLICY_IF_KNOWN] only as I give them, and add a line telling me to confirm the rules with a professional or consumer agency. Hold a level, reasonable tone, with no threats beyond lawful steps, set no cut-off other than [DEADLINE], and flag what I cannot prove. This is drafting help, not legal advice.

Dear Operations Manager, Contract M-48820 quoted 2,350 dollars for a two-bedroom move on 14 May, with delivery on 16 May. The driver now says the load weighed more than estimated and wants 3,100 dollars in cash before unloading. I have not been shown a weight ticket. I will pay the contract price and any part of the extra that the contract supports. Please send the weight ticket, the clause relied on and a firm delivery time tomorrow. My inventory and the signed estimate are attached. I would appreciate your reply by noon on 17 May.
