Most debt settlement letters include: The date, name, and address of the credit card company. A notation after the address that this is regarding a hardship letter.

You'll want to include specific information concerning your account in your debt settlement letter. List your name, account information, the original creditor of the debt, and the debt collection agencies identifying information. Include the current amount you owe and the amount you'd like to offer to settle the debt.
Tip for Drafting an Effective Settlement Letter Be concise. Your letter might be 20-30 pages long if your claim is complex. Be organized. Reread your letter to make sure you haven't said anything that the opposing party can twist around to use against you. Be polite and professional.
Use certified mail. If you are sending a debt collection letter for the purpose of informing debtors that legal action will soon be taken, you must be able to prove they received your communication. That means sending it by certified mail.
