Re: Encroachment of [hedge/fence/other encroachment] on my land

I am writing regarding the [hedge/fence/other encroachment] which as you

will see from the attached survey/plat map is actually on my land.

This letter is formal notice that I require you to remove the encroaching
[hedge/fence/other encroachment] from my land within the next 30 days.

[The below paragraph is optional]

If you do not wish to remove your [hedge/fence/other encroachment] there

is the possibility of my selling or “lending” you this strip of land on the
understanding that you acknowledge my ownership of the land. Perhaps we
could meet to discuss these options [next week/add relevant date].

Please be advised that if we cannot resolve this issue swiftly and amicably, I
will be forced to take the matter to court, seeking an ejectment order to
force the removal of the [hedge/fence/other encroachment] from my land.

Yours sincerely,
