DEMAND LETTER — SERVICE BUSINESS

Prepared October 23, 2026 · Ontario, Canada

RECITALS

WHEREAS the undersigned desires to set out in writing the matters described below;

WHEREAS this document has been prepared with reference to the laws of Ontario, Canada;

NOW, THEREFORE, the following provisions shall apply:

October 23, 2026

To: Maple Example Interiors

400 Sample Road, Hamilton, ON L8P 1A1

Re: Demand for payment of $$4,250 CAD for professional services rendered

Dear Maple Example Interiors,

This letter concerns Kitchen cabinet installation completed on June 12, 2026 (Invoice #1042, issued June 15, 2026). The work was finished and approved, but the invoice remains unpaid despite two written reminders sent in July and August 2026., provided on 2026-06-15, for which payment of $$4,250 CAD became due on 2026-11-15.

As of the date of this letter, the amount of $$4,250 CAD remains outstanding and overdue. I have attached (or previously sent) the relevant invoice/agreement for your reference.

If payment in full is not received by November 2, 2026, I will commence legal proceedings without further notice, including filing a claim in the small claims court of Ontario and seeking interest, court costs, and any additional damages permitted by law.

To avoid further action, please remit payment in full by November 2, 2026 by a traceable method (e.g., bank transfer, certified cheque).

This letter is written without prejudice to any other rights or remedies I may have. Nothing in this letter waives any claim to interest or costs.

Yours truly,
