prop solicitors letter...
i need to create a prop solicitors letter, which is about asking someone to stop badmouthing someone to future employers...
the character is sending nasty letters to companies slagging them off in order to stop them hiring that person...
can anyone help me with the wording as it will be seen very close up...and possibly even read...?
i am not sure what the legal terms are though or indeed what the 'crime' etc??
thanks

"Dear Mr Bloggs,
Our client, Mr John Smith, has advised us that you have been responsible for making defamatory statements, in respect of his suitability for employment, to various persons.
TAKE NOTICE that, should any further such defamation of our client occur, we will not hesitate to commence COURT PROCEEDINGS in order to seek damages under the provisions of the Defamation Act 1952 (as amended by the Defamation Act 1996).
FURTHER TAKE NOTICE that we reserve the right, irrespective of whether any further defamation occurs or not, to refer this matter to the POLICE and to the CROWN PROSECUTION SERVICE for possible CRIMINAL PROSECUTION. This is because there is prima facie evidence that your actions have been in contravention of Section 2(i) of the Fraud Act 2006, which we reproduce below.
"A person is in breach of this section if he—
(a)dishonestly makes a false representation, and
(b)intends, by making the representation—
(i)to make a gain for himself or another, or
(ii)to cause loss to another or to expose another to a risk of loss".
The maximum penalty for such a CRIMINAL OFFENCE is one of TEN YEARS IMPRISONMENT."

You'd need to ask a solicitor that, Joko ;-)
Jenna1978 might be able to give you a better opinion (or, of course, Barmaid) but that's probably all that would be needed.
Just a minor modification to what I wrote above:
"This is because there is prima facie evidence that"
would probably read better as
"This is because we are of the opinion that there is prima facie evidence showing that"
