Title: To whom it may concern: How to write a great response to a cease and desist. Post by: elux on June 23, 2013, 10:03:48 PM Quote from: AboveTheLaw.com In case you don’t know by now, many lawyers — maybe even you — enjoy writing cease and desist letters in a foreign language called legalese. This exotic tongue often contains Latin phrases, SAT vocabulary words, and various here-and-there words (e.g., herein, heretofore, hereinafter, hereunder, thereof, thereto, therewith, thereunder, therefor, thereon, and therefrom). A person unfamiliar with legalese may become frightened and run to another attorney for help in deciphering this mystical language of lawyerly legend. The lawyer who has been tasked with translating legalese to English may then become annoyed, and issue a scathingly funny letter in return.

Post by: MSantori on June 23, 2013, 10:08:21 PM I've written similar drafts many times... only to replace them with the legalese that ultimately goes out, all the while lamenting my profession's lack of humor. Glad to see someone put the first draft in the mail.
