Letter to say you received goods or services you didn't ask for by Citizens Advice
This document is a template for a letter a consumer can send to a trader after receiving unsolicited goods or services. It clearly states that the items were not ordered and informs the trader that the consumer will make the goods available for collection at the trader's expense. After a specified period, the consumer will treat the goods as their own if not collected.

To whom it may concern,
Re: Consumer Protection from Unfair Trading Regulations 2008
On 14 January 2022 I received from you:
A large ceramic plant pot 24" diameter
I would like to make it clear to you that I did not order these goods and they are therefore unsolicited.
I will make the goods available for you to collect at your expense in the next 14 days, but after this time I will treat the goods as my own.
Please contact me to arrange collection.
Yours faithfully,
Sam Hoolin

Templates in our curated library are professionally drafted for US or UK law. The wider library comes from the GitLaw community and public sources - a solid starting point, but check any template fits your situation before you rely on it.
Mostly US and UK law. Some templates use general commercial terms that work across jurisdictions, and many note which law they're written for.
It depends on the situation. Templates work well for routine business agreements. For anything involving significant money, complex IP, employment, or areas you're unsure about, it's worth getting professional advice before you sign. GitLaw provides templates and tools, not legal advice.
Open any template in GitLaw and describe the change you want in the chat — 'make clause 4 mutual' or 'add a 30-day notice period', for example. GitLaw drafts the revised language and shows it as a suggested edit. You accept, reject, or keep editing from there.
Yes. Upload a Word, PDF, or Markdown file and GitLaw will open it in the editor. You can review, edit, or chat with GitLaw about it the same way you would with any template from the library.
