Sending Cease And Desist

Summary

In South Carolina, sending a cease and desist letter directly to the person involved is most effective. If you only have an old address, it may not serve your legal purpose. Key points to include in the letter are your information, date, recipients information, subject line, introduction, details of the violation, legal grounds, demand to cease, consequences of non-compliance, and your signature. A sample template can help guide you in drafting the letter.

Can I send a cease and desist to someones relative if I do not know the address of who it is for
Hi ****,
To assist you better, could you please clarify if the person you want to send the cease and desist letter to is involved in the issue, or if you are hoping the relative will pass it along?
Thank you!
pass it along
Pass it

In South Carolina, a cease and desist letter should ideally be sent directly to the person involved. Sending it to a relative with the hope they will pass it along is less effective and might not serve your legal purpose. If possible, try to obtain the direct address of the person involved.
