[Hidden-tech] Thoughts on best wording of "Cease & Desist" to Accompany a Deposit Refund?

[McK66 Productions]

Hello!

I am trying to put together a letter that is worded in such a way that an abusive ex-client will not dare to make any further contact - by himself or through any representatives...

The primary concern would be for the ex-client to stop further threats of legal action.

This all revolves around a very strange Jekyll/Hyde incident where I was fine one day, but fired the next  - accompanied by verbal haranguing, abusive language, and character attacks.

Next I received a certified letter demanding return of a very small initial deposit (which wouldn't have covered a third of the short time I had spent) or that I would be facing a law suit for about *twenty times* the amount in question!

While fairly sure that I would survive a court challenge, I don't dare risk even the slightest possibility of losing that larger amount - so it is worth my while to give-in to the bullying behavior and send the small amount of money back to make this all go away...

I'm thinking something along the lines of:

"Please find enclosed a check in the amount of $xxx.xx, which constitutes a full & complete refund of monies sent to this party on August xx, 2012, in consideration of work to be performed for your firm. By cashing this check, you agree to a formal conclusion of this matter, hereby waiving any further legal action, and are restrained from any further contact of any sort, (voice, person, letter, electronic, etc.) either directly or through any agent - personal, professional, or governmental."

How does that sound?

Any thoughts, suggestions?

Thanks to all for your time!
