i gave her a bill last month, she said she would pay later, and now im leaving in two days and she says she doesnt have the money and isnt going to pay anything. so im writing the letter more to satisfy court procedures. i am going to conclude the letter by stating if i am not paid in two weeks, i will request a court mediator, and at last resort small claims. I know the letter is not convincing her to pay. i need to convince my small claims judge. i just dont want to extend beyond whats reasonable and end up with nothing.
