An MPT task memo asks you to draft a demand letter to opposing counsel in a wage dispute. The file shows that the employer failed to pay overtime for six weeks, but also shows that the employee's time records contain two obvious errors. The library includes a statute allowing double damages for willful nonpayment and a case warning that double damages may be denied when the employer had a good-faith dispute about hours.
A student plans to write, "Your client is a thief and will be destroyed in court unless it pays immediately," followed by a long neutral case discussion copied from the library. The student does not include a payment deadline or specific demand.
How should the student change the format and tone? Discuss audience, organization, professional advocacy, factual accuracy, and the need for a clear demand.
