What I am looking for is a sample letter for a breach of contract for nonpayment of work done for someone?

Answer 1

You will have a better case if you have signed a Contract or Statement of Works before making this demand letter which should refer to the terms in the earlier Contract or Agreement. Also - you need to raise the relevant invoice(s) with stated due dates and interest charges (best if both the Contract and Invoice had this indicated).

Answer 2

Just contact the local court house, and they will help you find what you are looking for. It also depends on what state you are in. So check before you fill anything out. Also a lawyer would be a great person to ask.
