It has come to our attention that our diligent efforts to serve the summons upon the defendant, [Defendant's Name], in person have been unsuccessful despite reasonable attempts. In accordance with the Montana Rules of Civil Procedure, specifically Rule 4(d)(4), we hereby request that the court authorize service of the summons via publication to notify the defendant of the pending legal action. To support this request, please find enclosed the necessary documents and the Affidavit of Counsel, which outlines the diligent efforts made thus far to locate and serve the defendant personally. We have attached relevant evidence such as certified mail receipts, process service documentation, and any other supporting materials to demonstrate our sincere efforts to locate the defendant. Additionally, we have included the proposed notice of publication, which meets the requirements set forth by Montana law. The proposed notice includes all necessary information such as the full name of the defendant, case number, court information, nature of the lawsuit, and relevant deadlines. We have made substantial efforts to ensure the notice is clear, concise, and written in a manner that would reasonably come to the defendant's attention. Please note that we understand the importance of ensuring due process is followed, and we believe that publication is the last resort to provide the defendant with proper notice. We genuinely regret the necessity of utilizing this method but believe it is essential to proceed with the legal proceedings in a fair and just manner. Should the court grant our request for summons by publication, we will arrange for the publication to be made in a newspaper of general circulation within the defendant's last known residence or any other location where the defendant may be reasonably deemed to receive notice. If you have any questions or require any additional information, please do not hesitate to contact me at the above-listed contact information. We look forward to your prompt attention to this matter.
