The purpose of issuing letters of understanding is to reduce the punishment of criminal suspects, and some can release criminal suspects on bail pending trial. Therefore, the letter of understanding is sent by the victim to the criminal's family, and the responsible lawyer will generally handle it for the criminal suspect. But if the circumstances are minor and you don't need to hire a lawyer, you can refer to the format of this letter of understanding. If the premise of the letter of understanding causes harm to the victim, it shall be clearly stated that the compensation has been reached and the actual compensation has ended. If there is no harm to the victim, there is no need to express it, but the focus of the letter of understanding should be clear that the victim has understood and the victim requests to be exempted from investigating the criminal responsibility of the defendant (criminal suspect).
