If the contract requires service of the demand with the words “return receipt requested,” “registered mail,” “certified mail,” or “addressed to the agent, or addressee,” the demand letter, whether sent by PDF, FedEx, or even hand courier, must conform to the request.
For California small claims, you don't have to “serve” a demand letter. You just have to send the demand letter. You can send it by mail, email, or hand delivery, or you can text the demand letter.
You can send a demand letter without a lawyer. If you currently have a dispute against a person or company, consider sending a demand letter as a way to resolve the issue outside of court. A demand letter is a letter outlining a set of requests you would like the other person or company to fulfill.
A demand letter is an attempt to reach a settlement out-of-court prior to the filing of a lawsuit, and there are no legal penalties for ignoring it, however, ignoring it could be legally considered an admission of guilt and may result in a summary judgement against you if the other party does file a lawsuit.
You can also send your demand letter via email. This is a good option if you don't have someone's address. However, if you escalate your dispute to small claims, you will need to have the other party's address so you may want to spend some time finding the other party's address.
Sending a demand letter by certified mail is preferable even if it is not technically required. First, if you have the return receipt then the other party cannot claim later on that they never received the demand letter.
