Sitting in front of a blank page is especially paralysing for formal letters, because here it is not only what you say that matters but how. An objection has to hit the right formulas, a termination has to keep the deadline, a power of attorney has to name its scope clearly. The letter template library takes the start off your hands: instead of formulating from zero, you pick a fitting template and fill in the blanks.

The collection comprises over twenty templates, sorted by areas of life. For dealing with authorities there are objection, appeal, applications and complaints. Around rent you find defect notices, objection to a rent increase and challenges to the utility bill. In the finance area there are reminders, an instalment offer and the Schufa self-disclosure. On top come powers of attorney, rejections, deadline settings and GDPR access and deletion requests.

Each template is built as a form. You see which details the letter needs - names, dates, file numbers, amounts - and enter them into the fields. The finished letter assembles from them, in correct form and with the fitting wording. So you get a clean text even when you are not sure yourself how to phrase such a thing.

The templates follow the structure of DIN 5008, the standard for business letters. That means the generated letter is not only usable in content but also tidily structured, with a sensible structure from salutation through subject to closing formula. That is exactly the impression that counts with authorities and business partners, without you having to read up on formal rules.

In the end you can copy the letter to the clipboard or download it as a text file. From there it goes on into your word processor, into an email or straight to print. If you also want to put the letter on paper to standard, you pass it to the DIN 5008 letter wizard, which sets fold marks and the address field.

A search and category filters help you find the right template fast instead of scrolling through a long list. And honesty is part of it: the templates are a good, phrased starting point for daily life, but for legally delicate or consequential letters they do not replace advice from a lawyer. For the standard letter to a landlord, an authority or a creditor they get you to the goal quickly.
