Sub: Violation of child custody court order

Dear Mr. [Last name],

Please be informed that you are in violation of a child custody court order delivered on September 3, 2010, by the New York Family Court granting custody of Ms. [Name], then 5 years old, to my client and your former wife, Ms. [Name].

Besides unlawful custody, you are also liable to be prosecuted for kidnapping of a minor, visitation law violation, false imprisonment, endangering the life of a minor, causing emotional and psychological trauma to both Ms. [Name] and my client, and the federal offense of abducting and fleeing across state lines.

Because you snatched Ms. [Name] from her home on the night of September 13, 2011, by also threatening to physically assault her nanny, Ms. [Name], with a dangerous weapon with an intent to cause grievous bodily harm or worse, you are also liable to be prosecuted for attempted manslaughter or murder in the third degree.

I now wish to bring to your notice that criminal proceedings have been initiated by my client against you and that the law firm that I represent has been retained by the plaintiff, Ms. [Name], to ensure justice is served.

You are hereby advised to contact the undersigned to make arrangements for the safe return of Ms. [Name] to her rightful custodian and my plaintiff, Ms. [Name], before the commencement of the court proceedings or face the consequences of your actions.

Sincerely,

[Signature]
