Unfortunately, all attempts to serve the defendant [Defendant's Name] with a traditional summons have been fruitless, and it is believed that they are deliberately avoiding service. I am representing [Plaintiff's Name] as their legal counsel in this case. [Provide a brief background of the case and include relevant details, such as the nature of the case and any necessary context.] As per the Arizona Rules of Civil Procedure, specifically Rule 4.1(d), when service of process cannot be done personally or by regular mail, a summons by publication is an acceptable method to ensure proper notice to the defendant. I have attached a copy of the supporting documentation as required by the court's rules. I kindly request that you review the enclosed documents and, upon your approval, publish the summons as required by law in a newspaper of general circulation in Maricopa County for the proper duration mandated by the court rules. In addition to the required publication, please let me know the specific steps, timeline, and costs associated with publishing the summons. Additionally, inform me of any specific guidelines or forms that I need to follow to facilitate the summons by publication process smoothly. Please acknowledge receipt of this letter and let me know if there are any further steps or requirements that I should be aware of during this process. Thank you for your attention to this matter. It is of utmost importance to ensure that the defendant receives proper notice, and I appreciate your assistance in facilitating this. Sincerely, [Your Name] [Your Law Firm's Name, if applicable] [Your Bar Number, if applicable]
