RE: Notice of Breach — [Contract Reference/Date]
Dear [Recipient Name],
This letter serves as formal notice that you are in breach of [Contract Name], dated [Date], specifically:
Nature of the Breach
[Specific provision breached, and factual description of how — cite the exact section number if possible.]
Demand for Cure
Per Section [X] of the Agreement [or, if the contract has no cure provision: "we demand"], you must cure this breach by [specific action] within [Number] days of this notice, i.e. by [Date].
Consequences of Failure to Cure
If this breach is not cured by the date above, we will consider the contract terminated / pursue damages / [other remedy available under the contract], without further notice.
We remain willing to resolve this matter directly if you cure the breach as described.

*Check the contract's own notice-and-cure provisions before sending this — many contracts specify a required cure period and delivery method, and skipping that step can undermine your ability to later terminate or sue for breach.*
