McCormick: Worth It

Dear [Dashing Young Lawyer About Town], We appreciate you giving us a chance to discuss our case. We placed an order for some goods from Fastenal Company back in January, 2019 and the terms of the sales contract requires us to pay 50% of the total cost of the ordered goods before delivery and the balance after we have received the same goods. However, after we made the 50% initial deposit, we did not receive any goods as required. The goods ought to be delivered in February, 2019. More time was given to them to deliver the goods which they were still unable to meet with. Hence, we requested a refund. We have made several efforts to have them refund the initial deposit, but to no avail. We have therefore decided to resort to legal means since there is an existing agreement prior to the transaction. Find below details of the supplier for your conflict check.

Adelson, I know this world is killing you

Hello [Dashing Counselor at Law], Thank you for your prompt response. Am currently on an official assignment outside the states and Phil Adelson (ex-husband) lives in jurisdiction. Due to the time difference (+13hrs EST) it is a little bit difficult to determine the best time to call you. Following our divorce, we agreed under a negotiated settlement agreement which is incorporated, merged into and made part of the court decree for a one-time payment of $823,500.00 for Family support (this includes child support, alimony and medical support). To his credit, he has paid me $499,500.00 USD but still owes $324,000.00 USD and the due time for completion of payment is over. Thus, I request your legal counsel and representation to enforce the final judgment thereby compelling him to remit the balance owed me. He is aware of my intention to seek legal actions. Attached is a copy of the separation agreement, and Final Judgment and I will be pleased to provide further information on this case on request. Prior to retaining you, Kindly forward a copy of your retainer agreement. As soon as I receive your firm's retainer agreement, I will review it to determine if the terms are acceptable to me. I would provide a copy of the signed retainer for your records and for us to proceed with this case. Regards, Yumiko Adelson

Bree All You Can Bree

A classic. But updated Antonio Aguero to me Hello [Super Smart and Sexy Lawyer Person}, This is an official request for your services on behalf of my Company towards the enforcement of our intellectual property rights. My Company is currently in contract with a company known as Stk Consulting & Services Inc and as such have a valid agreement contract for the production of scanning chips and codes to be used for packaging and shipping of all sorts of general supplies and merchandise to customers in the US. These chips and codes are embedded and preloaded with our proprietary software codes in Spanish but equipped with a language translator (Spanish to English) and are shipped to Stk Consulting & Services Inc at their office 425, L Street NW #1218, Washington DC 20001, United States. As our business thrived with Stk Consulting & Services Inc and seeing the need to cater to a higher demand of our scanning chips and codes, we opted to embed them with an English version of our proprietary software codes to avoid both the delays that could arise from translation as well as inefficiencies there from. This triggered the signing of a Copyright License Agreement with Stk Consulting & Services Inc that protects our intellectual property from being duplicated since all our codes had been simplified and provided in English. Sometime in June 2020 as part of a routine facility inspection tour by our Auditors to a facility owned by Stk Consulting & Services Inc it was discovered that they had commenced production of replica scanning chips and codes without informing us or getting our authorization. They had also commenced distribution of their version of our scanning chips and codes in complete violation of our existing agreement. Upon discovery of this and a further probe it was discovered that Stk Consulting & Services Inc had produced over Two Million replicas of our scanning chips and codes and had already sold Eight Hundred Thousand (800,000) of them. A team from our office in Mexico notified Stk Consulting & Services Inc of our discovery and intimated them of our disappointment in their actions. Stk Consulting & Services Inc admitted to their wrong doings as well as it amounting to a violation of the terms of our agreement and offered Fifty percent (50%) of the proceeds from the unauthorized production, we rejected their offer and requested Eighty percent (80%). Eventually after lengthy discussions and negotiations we resolved that Stk Consulting & Services Inc would remit Sixty Eight percent (68%) of the proceeds from the unauthorized production amounting to Three Million, Six Hundred and Eighty Thousand US Dollars Only ($3,680,000.00) and the said amount would be payable by the end of March 2021. We both signed a Memorandum of Understanding to this effect. Unfortunately, it has been one excuse or the other from Stk Consulting & Services Inc since the deadline lapsed and we have not received any payment from them. At first, their excuse was the pandemic, and then bad business. On several occasions they have initiated conversations in regards remitting said funds to us in tranches but have failed to honor their word. Despite this there has still existed a business relationship between our Company and Stk Consulting & Services Inc and I wish to maintain the same but the pending issue outstanding settlement needs to be looked into. I would appreciate it if you can inform, educate and guide through a peaceful process of receiving our settlement. My expectation of your services for now will be within the scenario of a Demand letter to Stk Consulting & Services Inc on our behalf. I believe that this approach will trigger a much-needed response/action from them in regards to an amicable settlement of the matter as well as remittance of what is due to my Company. Please note that if need be and there is no other way to pursue this and you feel from your legal perspective that litigation is the only way forward, I am not opposed to this but I would rather this as a last resort. Kindly let me know what you would need to proceed. I am aware that you might charge a retainer for your services if you are interested in taking on this case, please let me know what your retainer fees would amount to as well as any other requirements/dynamics that need to be fulfilled I look forward to hearing from you.
