When you write the hardship letter, don't include anything that would hurt your situation. Here are some examples of things you shouldn't say in the letter: Don't say that your situation is your lender's fault or that their employees are jerks. Don't state that things will likely turn around for you.
Focus only what has currently happened and how that has impacted your ability to make the payments. List what you have done to try to resolve the hardship. For example, you reduced your expenses, picked up a second job, etc. Explain why you need help from the lender to avoid default.

Examples of unforeseen or unexpected circumstances include: Changes in employment status (such as furlough, losing a job, or having hours reduced) Significant life events (such as a relationship breakdown or death in the family) Injury or illness.
