A one-page checklist before you mail, email, or stand up

We write it. You send it. Fill the boxes for the letter you are about to send. If a box is empty, stop and find the fact. A polished letter with a blank member ID is a stall.

Every letter

• Your name as you want it on the page
• Their name, spelled the way they spell it
• Today’s date and the date that matters (last day, cancel-by, the event)
• How you will send it — email, portal, certified mail, hand it over, or speak it. A desk chat is not a record
• A copy you keep

Gym / membership cancel

• Legal name on the account
• Member ID exactly as the card or app shows it. Do not guess
• Club name and the address you are writing to
• The date you want the membership to end
• The method the contract names. We do not tell you to stop paying

Resignation

• Your name and job title as they appear at work
• Manager’s name
• Last day. Two weeks is a custom in a lot of US jobs, not a statute — read your handbook
• Optional thanks only if you mean it. No vent. HR keeps the letter

Eulogy

• The name, spelled as you want it said
• Your relationship in the first sentence so you do not freeze
• Three memories you can see — a kitchen, a joke, a habit. Not a Wikipedia page
• Spoken length: four to seven minutes. Print large type

Wedding or retirement toast

• Your name and how you know them. The back tables cannot hear the MC
• Three stories: before the couple, the couple, a kind close
• A short wish. Sit down. Four minutes

Apology

• What you did, in your words. Not “sorry you felt”
• The impact, if you know it
• One specific repair. “I’ll be better” is not a next step
• No “but.” Everything after “but” is the real letter

Neighbor / HOA note

• Who you are
• One issue, with times if it is noise
• One ask
• A way they can reply. No lawyer threats in the first note

Company complaint

• Your name and the company
• What happened, with dates. Order or account numbers if you have them
• One remedy: refund, replacement, or a written answer
• True events only. Adjectives do not refund

Tone rewrite (the message you almost sent)

• Paste the draft you actually wrote. Do not invent a cleaner story
• Pick one temperature later: firm, warm, or grey-rock
• No lawsuit language

What this is not

Not legal advice. We do not send the letter. We do not promise anyone honors it. Do not invent facts. We will not write threats, credit-repair pitches, or harassment letters.

No signup. If the boxes are full and you do not want to assemble the letter, the form is here. You still send it.
