Function and function of lawyer's letter;
1. The lawyer's letter can recover the creditor's rights such as the payment owed by the entrustment in a convenient way. In commercial activities, the situation of default in payment for goods occurs from time to time. If it is solved directly through litigation, it will not only take a long time, but also lose customers. If the seriousness of the problem is pointed out to the customer through a lawyer's letter, the customer will consider solving the adverse consequences through litigation and will repay the arrears.
2. Before filing a lawsuit or applying for arbitration, sending a letter through a lawyer can delay the limitation of action.
3. A letter from a lawyer can clarify the facts and stop illegal infringement.
Lawyer's letter has the function of clarifying facts and deterring illegal acts, which is beyond the reach of ordinary business letters and folk letters.

There are many aspects in this respect, such as notifying and ratifying the agent's agency behavior, exercising the right of uneasy defense, exercising the right of defense at the same time, exercising the right of defense in advance, notifying the contract to be invalid, exercising the right of cancellation, etc. All parties have the right to complete the notification through a lawyer's letter.
To sum up, if one party receives a lawyer's letter, because the lawyer's letter is not mandatory to reply, if one party does not want to reply, it can be ignored. However, if the parties consider it necessary to reply, they may reply according to their own circumstances.
