Hey guys, I need an advise. Trying to help a friend.
The story begins with this prox 50yrs old guy who has a wife and 2 kids and has been trying to contact my friend for the past 2 years. He has been sending mail and email to her saying that he would rather ditch the family and go away with her. What's creepier is that he has been to her work place asking for her, which is really causing her great deal of stress and fear. literally stalking I would say. She cried to me the other day talking about it. He hasn’t really shown any signs of violence or threaten her or anything but obviously we want to approach this situation cautiously.
we are about to send him a notice and would like to know if you think the letter would piss him off and causing him do thing irrationally.“Dear XXXX,
It is hereby put on notice that your course of conduct towards xxxx has been causing her severe emotional distress. You are hereby put on notice that if you continue to communicate with xxxx directly or indirectly, it may be considered stalking. Do not phone xxxx. Do not email xxxx. Do not send her unwanted letters or gifts in the mail. Do not attempt to visit and/or frequent her family's home or her place of employment.
Charges against you may be filed under Criminal Code §264 : Criminal Harassment if conduct is not ceased immediately.Signed:
