Write a request for a deposit refund when a contractor took payment for custom work that has not started. Facts I will give: contractor [CONTRACTOR_NAME], contract and deposit [CONTRACT_AND_DEPOSIT], start date promised [START_DATE_PROMISED], contacts since [CONTACTS_SINCE], materials ordered, if any [MATERIALS_ORDERED], what I want [DESIRED_REMEDY]. Please have the letter state the date and amount paid, the start date promised, the attempts to contact, and ask for a refund less any proved cost of custom materials. Show the deposit, the start date promised and the dates I tried to get a reply. Ask for a refund less documented costs of custom materials, supported by supplier invoices and order dates, and propose a payment date. State that I will consider other steps if there is no reply by [DEADLINE]. Facts and papers worth gathering: Signed contract, proof of payment, texts and emails, and any invoice for materials they claim. What I can realistically request: A full refund, a refund less documented costs, or a firm start date in writing. They will often answer: Contractors often cite the cost of materials; reply by asking for the supplier invoice and the order date. Give me a three-letter sequence for the contractor deposit taken for custom work never started: one for no reply by my deadline, and a response to an inadequate answer, each shorter than the one before. Provide the letter with a 50-word cover note, followed by an if-ignored ladder (send a final notice, then a trade body or licensing board, then small claims preparation), and a list of exhibits (contract, payment, messages, material invoices). Post it by a tracked route with a return receipt, then file the tracking page once it shows delivered. Make it steady, civil and clear, with no threats beyond lawful steps, put the date from [DEADLINE] on any request, and be honest about limits. Draft it as me, an ordinary person, with no invented titles. Cite no law or deadline I did not supply; work from [JURISDICTION] and [RELEVANT_LAW_OR_POLICY_IF_KNOWN] only as I give them, and tell me to verify the exact law with a professional. This is drafting help, not legal advice.
