Sir:

This is in connection with your unpaid rentals covering the period December
2016 to January 2017 in the total amount of P100,000.00 being referred to
me by Mrs. Yassy Y. Pressman, the owner of the building you are occupying,
for legal action warranted under the circumstances.

Repeated demands were made upon you by my client to update your rental
arrearages in violation of the lease agreement and to vacate the premises
you are occupying, but you failed and refused and still fails and refuses to
vacate the same to the damage and prejudice of my client.

Accordingly, demand is hereby made upon you to pay the amount

of P100,000.00 directly to my client within FIFTEEN (15) days from
receipt of this letter. Otherwise, I will be constrained to file the necessary
legal action against you to protect my client's interest without further notice.

Truly yours,

ATTY. SHANE MARIE B. EDROSOLANO
