The primary purpose of this letter is to make a formal written request to a party to an existing contract to extend or renew the term of the contract.
Sometimes, extension or renewal of contract may be agreed over verbal communication with the other party to the contract, but, it is always better to put the request in writing (even if verbal approval has already been provided) to avoid any disputes in the future.
This letter can be used to extend or renew the period of any type of contract between individual or diverse types of organizations/companies. This document can be used in case of an initial request or following up on the verbal communication with the other party.
This letter removes the need to enter into a new contract altogether and thereby reduces a lot of time and resources. For renewal of the contract, the parties just need to make minor modifications to the existing contract and execute it without any further complications or delay.
How to use this document?

The letter covers the major areas including the details of the party, details of the existing contract, clauses in the existing contract denoting the renewal or extension, amendments or additions to the existing contract, communication details, etc.
