Dear Sir/Madam (or name of person);

Re: ( Contract/Invoice number Nature of goods or services what agreed Contract to purchase e.g. Double-glazing, etc.)

I write further to my conversation with (name of person) on the (date) regarding cancellation of the above agreement.

On the (date) one of your salespersons called at my house (entirely unsolicited or after I had received a telephone call from your firm offering a free estimate etc.)

I reluctantly agreed to sign the contract so that the salesman, who had been in my house for (number of hours), would leave. I paid a deposit of £.... .

I believe that under the Consumer Protection (Cancellation of Contracts Concluded away from Business Premises) Regulations 1987 (as amended). I have a seven day cooling-off period, during which I have the right to cancel.

I am therefore giving you notice that I wish to cancel our contract and request that you return my deposit with the next 14 days.

Yours sincerely/faithfully;

Sign and print your name.
