Subject: Urgent Request for Delay of Answer due to Party Negotiations — [Your Name/Case Number] Dear [Attorney's Name], I hope this letter finds you in good health and high spirits. I am writing to you today in regard to the ongoing legal matter of [Case Number]. I would like to discuss the possibility of delaying the submission of our answer to the pending litigation for a brief period due to ongoing negotiations between the parties involved. As you may already be aware, negotiations have commenced between the involved parties in an attempt to resolve the matter without having to resort to prolonged court proceedings. We believe that these negotiations have a high potential for resolving the matter amicably, avoiding unnecessary expenses, and preserving a good working relationship between the parties. Considering the substantial progress made in the negotiations and the potential benefits of a mutually agreed settlement, it would be in the best interest of both parties to delay the filing of our answer in the pending litigation. Granting this delay will provide us with additional time to explore all possible avenues for resolution and potentially reach a compromise that is acceptable to all parties involved. We kindly request your cooperation in granting an extension of [insert requested timeframe] for filing our answer. This additional time will allow us to fully evaluate the negotiations and make informed decisions regarding future legal actions. Outlined below are some key points supporting our request for a delay: 1. Ongoing Negotiations: Both parties have actively engaged in negotiations aimed at reaching a mutually beneficial settlement. 2. Potential for Swift Resolution: The progress made during negotiations indicates that an amicable resolution is within reach, potentially sparing all parties involved the time, expense, and stress associated with lengthy court proceedings. 3. Preserving Relationships: By allowing sufficient time for negotiations, we aim to maintain a positive working relationship between the involved parties, which may yield benefits beyond the current legal matter. 4. Fairness: Granting an extension aligns with the principles of fairness, as it allows all parties to fully explore potential settlement options before resorting to litigation. We understand the importance of adhering to legal deadlines and are committed to promptly providing you with any updates regarding the progress of negotiations. Should it become apparent that a resolution is no longer feasible, we will promptly proceed with filing our answer as required by law. We kindly ask you to review our request and respond promptly. Your support in granting this delay will demonstrate your commitment to fairness and the pursuit of amicable resolutions. We believe that taking this approach will ultimately benefit all parties involved. Thank you for your understanding, cooperation, and for giving due attention to our request. We look forward to a positive response and a favorable outcome to this matter. Sincerely, [Your Name] [Your Contact Information] [Case Number] Keywords: Washington, sample letter, attorney, delay of answer, pending, party negotiation, legal matter, resolution, negotiations, settlement, litigation, amicable, extension, deadline, fairness, working relationship, progress, outcomes.
