SAMPLE - ADVERTISING, TERMININATING THE AGENCY

It's unfortunate when any business relationship comes to an unanticipated ending.  Yet, there are times when the reasons to separate outweigh any justification we may have to join forces.

[COMPANY NAME] has given serious consideration to the question of
whether our best interest continues to be served by retaining [COMPANY]'s advertising services.

After evaluating the costs versus the results, management has decided to terminate our relationship with your firm effective [ITEM1].  This letter serves as formal notification that [COMPANY NAME] no longer requires your assistance.  Please close out our account, cancel any pending media placements, and forward the final invoice to [ITEM2]'s attention.

Thank you for your professional handling of this matter.  Time brings about change, and the world is a very small place.  Perhaps we will have a chance to work together in the future when circumstances are different.

Sincerely yours,
