Re: Return of $4,000 deposit

To whom it may concern:

I represent Jordan Lee. On March 3, my client paid you a $4,000 deposit for home repairs. The work was never started, and your office has stopped replying.

Please return the full deposit within 14 days of this letter. If we can't resolve this, my client may consider other legal options.
