[Your Name] [Your Address] [City, State, ZIP] [Email Address] [Phone Number] [Date] [Recipient's Name] [Recipient's Address] [City, State, ZIP] Subject: Notice of Foreclosure — [Property Address] Dear [Recipient's Name], I hope this letter finds you well. I am writing to inform you that I am undergoing a foreclosure process on the property located at [Property Address]. As the rightful owner of the said property, I would like to provide you with all the necessary details regarding the foreclosure proceedings. 1. Property Information: — Property Address: [Property Address— - County: Cook County, Illinois — Property ID: [Property ID], if applicable 2. Foreclosure Status: The aforementioned property has unfortunately been marked for foreclosure due to an inability to honor the mortgage payments within the timeframe specified by the lending institution. I have diligently explored various options to avoid this unfortunate situation but, regrettably, foreclosure appears to be the only feasible outcome at this juncture. 3. Pending Auction: As outlined in the foreclosure notice, the property is scheduled for auction on [Auction Date] at [Auction Venue]. This public foreclosure auction is mandated by the Cook County Sheriff's Office, following the instructions provided by the court in response to the lender's legal proceedings. 4. Redemption Period: Upon the successful completion of the foreclosure sale, the redemption period will commence. This period allows the homeowner (me, in this case) a final opportunity to reclaim the property by satisfying the outstanding debt. The redemption period in Illinois typically spans six months. 5. Offer to Purchase: If you have an active interest in the property prior to the foreclosure auction, please notify me as soon as possible. We can explore the possibility of a private sale, subject to approval from the mortgage lender. By engaging in this option, both parties may benefit from avoiding the auction process altogether. 6. Assistance with Vacating the Property: Due to the imminent foreclosure auction, it's important to consider the necessary steps for relocating from the property. I am committed to ensuring a smooth transition and cooperative handover of the premises. If you required any assistance or additional information in this matter, please do not hesitate to contact me. I understand that foreclosure proceedings can be a challenging and uncertain time for all involved parties. Therefore, I welcome the opportunity to engage in open communication and address any concerns or queries you may have regarding the property or the foreclosure process. Thank you for your attention to this matter. I kindly request your cooperation during this transition. Sincerely, [Your Name]
