Rhode Island Sample Letter for Request to Issue Summons by Publication [Your Name] [Your Address] [City, State, ZIP] [Date] [Recipient's Name] [Recipient's Address] [City, State, ZIP] Re: Request to Issue Summons by Publication Dear [Recipient's Name], I hope this letter finds you in good health. I am writing this letter to request the issuance of summons by publication in relation to a legal matter pending before the [Name of Court] in Rhode Island. Briefly, I am involved in a legal case against [Defendant's Name], who resides at an unknown address or whose current whereabouts are unknown. Due to the inability to personally serve the defendant with the summons, I am seeking your cooperation to initiate service through publication. According to the Rules of Civil Procedure in Rhode Island, when personal service is not possible, a plaintiff is permitted to serve the defendant through publication as an alternative method. I have attached the necessary documents, including a copy of the complaint, affidavit of due diligence, and details of the defendant, in support of my request. In compliance with the requirements set forth by the court, I have made extensive efforts to locate the defendant but have been unsuccessful. I have conducted thorough searches, contacted relatives and potential associates, and even employed the services of a professional investigator. However, all attempts to establish personal service have proved futile. I kindly request that the court approve the service by publication as per the applicable statute and instruct the publication of a summons in an approved newspaper within Rhode Island for the required period. I have identified [Name of Newspaper], a widely circulated publication in Rhode Island, and have included a proposed text for the publication of the summons within the attached documents. Furthermore, I understand the financial obligations related to such publication and assure you that I will bear all costs associated with it. Kindly provide me with the exact fees and payment instructions, and I will promptly ensure the fulfillment of these obligations. I request your prompt attention to this matter so that the legal proceedings can progress in a timely manner. Please notify me in writing of the court's decision regarding this request and any further instructions. Should you require any additional information or documentation, please do not hesitate to contact me at [Your Phone Number] or via email at [Your Email Address]. I am grateful for your attention and cooperation in this matter. Thank you for your assistance. Yours sincerely, [Your Name]
