Document background
The Simple Demand Letter is a crucial business document used in the United Arab Emirates when seeking to recover outstanding payments or enforce contractual obligations. This document serves as a formal notification to debtors and is often a necessary first step before initiating legal proceedings under UAE law. The letter typically includes specific details about the debt, payment history, and a clear demand for payment within a specified timeframe. When drafting a Simple Demand Letter, considerations must be given to UAE Federal Laws, including the Civil Code (Federal Law No. 5 of 1985) and Commercial Transactions Law (Federal Law No. 18 of 1993), which govern commercial relationships and debt collection practices. The document must maintain a professional tone while clearly stating the demand and potential consequences of non-payment, all within the framework of UAE legal requirements.
