Cease and Desist Letter

Need a cease and desist letter prepared for your situation? WhatLetter provides professionally drafted correspondence based on the facts, documents and instructions you provide.

Rather than giving you a generic template to complete yourself, we prepare tailored correspondence that clearly communicates the circumstances, your concerns and what you want addressed.

Cease and Desist Letter Australia

A cease and desist letter is formal written correspondence used to communicate concerns about particular conduct, contact or activity and to clearly set out what you want the recipient to address or stop.

WhatLetter prepares tailored cease and desist correspondence for Australian customers. You explain what has happened and provide the relevant information, and we prepare the written correspondence around your particular circumstances.

Your matter may involve harassment, unwanted contact, online conduct, a business or commercial dispute, or another situation where you want your position formally communicated in writing.

What Can a Cease and Desist Letter Be About?

Cease and desist correspondence can relate to many different circumstances. The content of your letter will depend on the particular situation and the information you provide.

• Harassment and unwanted contact
• Repeated communications that you want formally addressed
• Online or social media conduct
• Business and commercial disputes
• Use of images, written content or other material
• Disputes involving an individual, business or organisation
• Other conduct or activity that you want formally addressed in writing

If you are unsure how to structure your correspondence, you can explain the circumstances in your own words and provide the relevant information. We will use those details to prepare the letter.

Cease and Desist Letters for Harassment and Unwanted Contact

If you are experiencing unwanted contact, repeated communications or conduct that you want to formally address, putting your position in writing can provide a clear record of what you are asking the other party to address.

WhatLetter can prepare tailored correspondence based on the history of the matter, relevant communications, dates and your instructions.

You do not need to work out the wording yourself. Simply provide the relevant details and explain what you want the letter to communicate.

Cease and Desist Letters for Business Disputes

Businesses and individuals may also want formal correspondence prepared when dealing with a commercial disagreement or another business-related matter.

You can provide the relevant background, communications and documents, together with what you want to communicate to the other party. WhatLetter can then prepare professional written correspondence based on the information you provide.

Why Choose a Tailored Letter?

A generic cease and desist letter template is designed to cover a broad range of situations. Your circumstances, however, are specific to you.

WhatLetter takes the information you provide and prepares correspondence around your particular matter. This means you do not have to start with a blank document or try to work out how to structure the letter yourself.

• Tailored to your circumstances: Your correspondence is prepared from the information and instructions you provide.
• Professionally written: Your letter is structured clearly and written in professional Australian English.
• Not a generic template: The correspondence is prepared around the details of your particular matter.
• Simple process: Explain what has happened and tell us what you want the correspondence to communicate.
• Two service options: Choose a single professionally drafted letter or the Full Matter VIP service for an ongoing matter.
