Dear Mr. Grant:

In February, our company hired your firm to defend us in an upcoming distribution dispute. Given the carelessness of the lawyer assigned to the case, we have decided that we do not wish to enter into this litigation with your firm as our legal representation. We are therefore officially terminating our contract with you.

Under our contractual agreement, you are required to refund us our $15,000.00 retainer fee, as well as return all paperwork pertaining to the trial immediately. Should you have any questions, you may contact our new lawyer at the following address:

Kerry Davies
Johnson, Mattox & Davies
1431 Skyline Dr.
Memphis, TN 54429
(319) 465-8979 Ext. 54

We regret that we were unable to do business together.

Yours Truly,

Dear Mr. Farraday:

As you well know, Farraday, Farraday & Schuster have provided us with outstanding legal representation for the past five years. Recently, however, our owner has decided to sell the franchise back to its parent company. Because of this, we will no longer have need of your services.

We appreciate the legal advice which you have provided us, and wish you well in your future endeavors.

Regards,
