Start off by mentioning the day of your last meeting with your attorney. Give enough information about that meeting so that they can quickly recall you. Your attorney has many clients and may forget the last time you met.;
, In the main body of your letter, speak concisely of your legal matter with your attorneys. Include any details immediately relevant to your follow up meeting. For instance, if you want to meet to discuss your will, mention that. If you have thought of more questions you would like to ask your attorney, mention them in your letter so that your attorney can prepare answers for you.
 Cordially make your request for the followup meeting. Include your phone numbers and email address, even though your attorney already has them from the previous meeting. If there is a best time or manner to contact you, let them know what it is.
 Say you are looking forward to hearing from them. You may say that you look forward to discussing the details, or that you found your last meeting very helpful. Do not thank them for anything they have not yet done, as this may come off as presumptuous. Sign off formally with a version of "Yours truly, " or "Sincerely, ."After signing your name, you may choose to include your business title under your signature.
 Be clear about what you want, and write as little as you need to communicate it. Write exactly what you mean, without beating around the bush, and do not add superfluous content.
