Demand letter template on your firm's letterhead
Convert your firm’s PDF letterhead into a Word demand-letter template — the artwork fixed in place, the body ready for the claim.
Why the letterhead matters on a demand letter
A demand letter does a specific job: it signals that a matter has moved from informal to serious. Part of that signal is the paper it arrives on. A demand letter on the firm’s designed letterhead reads as a considered position from a real practice; the same words in a bare Word document read as a draft.
The problem is that most firms only have the letterhead as a PDF — from a designer or a print run. You cannot type a demand into a PDF. So the letter gets built another way: someone recreates the letterhead at the top of a Word file, or pastes in a logo image and rebuilds the address block by hand. Every demand letter becomes a small formatting project, and the firm’s identity drifts a little each time — a logo nudged, a font substituted, a margin off.
For a document whose whole purpose is to look authoritative, that is the wrong place to be improvising.
A demand-letter template, built once
Letterhead Lab converts the firm’s PDF letterhead into a Microsoft Word file with the artwork locked into the header and footer. The body — the part between the letterhead and the signature block — is left blank and fully editable. That file is your demand-letter template.
Whoever owns operations converts the PDF once and saves the result to the firm’s shared template folder. From then on, drafting a demand letter starts from the right file: an associate opens the template, writes the demand, and saves it as a new document for the matter. The letterhead is already correct — it is not something the associate has to assemble or check.
Because the artwork sits in Word’s native header, it repeats automatically if the demand runs past one page, and it cannot be knocked out of place by editing the body. Take the Multi-page bundle and you also get a .dotx template, so Word opens a fresh copy each time and the master letterhead can never be overwritten. Convert it, drop it in the folder, and every demand the firm sends goes out on the same correct letterhead.

Frequently asked questions
- Does the letterhead stay editable, or is it locked?
- The letterhead artwork is locked into Word's header and footer so it can't be moved or deleted by accident. The body of the letter — where you write the demand — is fully editable.
- Can the demand letter run to more than one page?
- Yes. The artwork repeats on every page automatically. The Multi-page bundle adds a lighter continuation header for pages after the first, the convention for longer demands.
- How do associates use the template?
- They open it, type the demand, and save it as a new document for the matter. The master template stays untouched — especially with the .dotx version, which opens a copy every time.
- Is the firm's letterhead PDF sent anywhere?
- No. The conversion runs entirely in your browser. The PDF never reaches our servers; only Stripe handles your email and payment.
- What does it cost?
- $39 to convert a single letterhead, or $79 for the Multi-page bundle — up to ten letterheads plus .dotx templates, A4, US Letter, and continuation headers.
