123 My Street Mytown Mypostcode 1 April 2000 Seller Address Postcode Dear Sir/Madam I refer to the that you carried out for me on . On I noticed that the work was defective, only of days after you completed it. The defects in the work: It was implied in the contract between us that you would carry out the work with reasonable skill and care, and would use materials of reasonable quality. This is laid down by the Supply of Goods and Services Act 1982 [NOT SCOTLAND] The defects show that you have failed to fulfill these obligations and I have a claim against you for breach of contract. However, while reserving my right to claim against you, I will allow you an opportunity to rectify these defects within 14 days at no cost to me. If you do not carry out this work within the specified time I shall take steps to engage another contractor to put the matter right and recharge the work to you, if necessary through legal means. I look forward to hearing from you. Yours faithfully
