Dear Sir/Madam (or name of person);

Re: (Invoice Number)

I write in response to your letter to me (dated) containing your invoice for £... .

I believe the amount you are claiming from me is too high.

Describe why you believe the bill is too high.

I would therefore ask you to revise the bill. If I do not receive a satisfactory outcome I shall ask you to obtain a remuneration certificate from the Law Society `s Office for Supervision of Solicitors.

I look forward to hearing from you within the next 14 days.

Yours sincerely/faithfully;

Sign and print your name.
