A letter of notification is sent to inform the recipient of important information. There are many scenarios where this is commonly used, including informing somebody that a lawsuit has been filed against them, giving notice to a landlord that you’re planning to move out, and letting various entities know that you’ve legally changed your name.
A letter of notification may also be used to inform companies or creditors that somebody has passed away, or to tell an immigration authority that you have gotten married, which could affect a visa application.
There are also many informal uses of this kind of letter, though they may not necessarily be officially titled as a “notification”.
Be straight forward and brief to prevent confusion.
In certain cases you may need to provide notification of something several days in advance, such as moving out of a rented property.
Letters about a legal matter should be signed.
Dear John Winters,
I am writing to give my official two week notification that I will be moving out of the rental property, as per our lease agreement. I have been offered a new job in Oregon and need to get my affairs in order quite quickly.
Your property has been left in pristine condition so I expect that the $1000 security deposit will be refunded promptly.
I would like to thank you for the accommodation, and if you have any further queries you can contact me on the cell phone number you have on record.
Sincerely,
Graham Shultz
