RE: Legal Notice for Defamation and Cease and Desist

Dear [Name of Person Being Sued],

I am writing to you to serve you with a legal notice regarding the defamatory statements that you
have made against my deceased father, [Your Father's Name], who was an eminent jurist and a
constitutional expert who held an important position in the Government of the United Arab
Emirates. The statements made by you in your recently published book titled [Title of the book]
and in an interview with [Name of interviewer], are false and baseless, and have caused
significant harm to my father's reputation and standing in the community. I demand that you
retract your statements, issue an apology immediately, and cease and desist from any further
publication of the book or any other materials containing defamatory statements about my father.

Your defamatory statements were published in your book [Title of the book] on [Date of
publication], where you stated [specify the defamatory statement(s) made by the person being
sued]. Furthermore, in an interview with [Name of interviewer], you repeated and elaborated
upon these defamatory statements, making them even more damaging to my father's reputation.

These statements are false and defamatory and have caused substantial harm to my father's
reputation and standing in the community. Defamation is a serious offense under the laws of the
United Arab Emirates (UAE) and is defined as any action that causes harm to the reputation of
another person or entity. Article 372 of the UAE Penal Code states that "Any person who
publicly insults another or accuses him of a matter which may lead to a punishment or a
contempt by a third party shall be sentenced to detention for a period not exceeding two years or
to a fine not exceeding AED 20,000, or to both penalties."

Furthermore, under Article 19 of the UAE Cybercrime Law No. 5 of 2012, any person who uses
electronic means to publish information that damages the reputation, prestige, or position of
another person shall be punished with imprisonment and/or a fine.

Given the stature and reputation of my father, your defamatory statements are particularly
egregious and have caused significant harm to his reputation and legacy. As such, I demand that
you retract your defamatory statements and issue a written apology to my father's family within
[specify the timeline] from the date of receipt of this legal notice. I further demand that you
immediately cease and desist from any further publication or distribution of the book, or any
other materials containing defamatory statements about my father.

Failure to comply with these demands will result in me pursuing legal action against you for
defamation, as well as seeking injunctive relief to prevent any further publication or distribution
of the book or any other materials containing defamatory statements about my father.

I hereby reserve the right to take any necessary legal action to protect my father's reputation and
legacy, including seeking damages and/or an injunction to prevent further publication of the
book or any other materials containing defamatory statements about my father.

I hope that this matter can be resolved amicably and without the need for further legal action.
However, I will take all necessary steps to protect my father's reputation and legacy.

Sincerely,

[Your Name]
