Reply To Demand Letter Sample
I write on behalf of my client Vladimir Stalin, in response to your demand letter dated
July 20, 2015.
As you have correctly pointed out in your demand letter, my client is the marketing officer
of XYZ (XYZ). As part of her compensation/benefit as the marketing officer, she is
entitled to receive a commission for every successful deal that she closes with XYZ.
Considering that it was my client who closed the deal between your client and XYZ, she
should have been entitled to receive a commission. However, in view of XYZ's failure to
deliver the goods within the stipulated period and considering that the transaction was
already cancelled, the amount of Php 1.75M that my client had received in relation to the
said transaction became cash advances instead of a commission.
Although it was not my client's fault why the transaction was cancelled, XYZ is asking and
demanding from my client for the return of the Php 1.75M. While my client is willing to
return the cash advances, she cannot return it in cash and can only pay it in installment.
To our surprise, XYZ is now using my client's inability to immediately return the cash
advances (Php 1.75M) as an excuse to not to return the down payment to your client.
Despite my client's plea with Mao Zedong (President of XYZ) to return the down payment
to your client, he refused and continue to refuse to return it.
In your demand letter, you asked my client to return the Php 8,400,000.00 received by
XYZ from your client. While I emphatize with your client, my client cannot comply with
your demand because firstly, she has never received such amount from your client and
secondly, she is not privy to the contract entered into by and between XYZ and your client.
You may also want to refer to the transaction record (deposit slip) between XYZ and your
client. In the said transaction record, you will see that it was XYZ, and not my client, who
received the down payment from your client.
Furthermore, in my client's previous communication with your client, she offered to return
directly to your client the amount of Php 1.75M. This is because my client is afraid that
XYZ might not comply with its promise to my client that it will return to your client the full
amount of Php 8.4M once my client has returned the cash advances.
I would also like to clarify that my client did not take Php 1.75M from the Php 8.4M paid
by your client. As earlier stated, my client received Php 1.75M from XYZ as her supposed
commission. However, it later became cash advances because the transaction was
cancelled.
