RE: Requesting short sale because of financial hardship
Name of Lender:
This letter is a formal request to short sell my house because of financial hardship. I have not been able to make my mortgage payments for the past six months because the company I was working for, Name of Company, downsized, and my position was eliminated.
I found another job, but the salary is a third of my previous salary. If I can short sell my house, I can avoid foreclosure.
I would like to fulfill my financial obligations, but it has not been possible for the past six months, and a short sale seems to be the only solution. I also believe that a short sale is in your best interest, because the house is in good condition and you could sell it for market value rather than waiting for foreclosure and trying to sell a vacant house.
Thank you for considering my request. I am ready to cooperate with any instructions you may have. I can be reached at Phone Number or Email Address.
Sincerely,
Signature of Borrower
