I'm a patent attorney doing a favor for a friend by writing a demand letter when a car he loaned for a Playboy film was damaged. I know there's a proof of attorney-client relationship letter or form I'm supposed to provide with the demand letter. Anyone know where I can find a sample or reference.
My response:
Here you go. If there's anything else I can do for you, please let me know.
