Your post makes little sense. No one here can tell you what is or is not a "key statement" without the facts. Post again, with a clear statement of the facts and tell us exactly what you are trying to do. Since it looks lake a landlord/tenant issue, you also need to post in the correct category.

There are a number of "statements" / allegations that you should include in a dispossessory. For example, you want to establish that there was a contract, so include the date it was entered into, the names of the parties, the amount of the rent required, the term of the contract. Next, you want to make an assertion that your tenant breached the contract and explain how he/she failed to perform, e.g. he/she failed to pay rent and the rent is now past due (for more than 30 days). You need to assert that you have not accepted any partial payment of the amount that you deem in controversy. Once your dispossessory is filed and served, the tenant will have an opportunity to answer, pay the amount outstanding, etc.

Although it is always advisable to have an attorney assist you with matters like this, it is not an absolute necessity. That said if you proceed pro se, you do so at your own peril.

You need a lawyer. An "intent to sue letter" is completely meaningless and a joke without a lawyer who properly drafts it.
