Need to write & get letter notarized....?
I need to write a letter to an ex-employer demanding payment for expenses that were promised to me. Should I get it notarized? Can I just write a letter demanding the payment & then have it notarized?

There is no reason to have it notarized--that is just a means of proving the identity of a person signing a document, and your identity is not in issue. Rather than showing your diligence, I think it would tend to show that you do not know what you are doing. I agree with those who recommend sending it registered mail, return receipt requested.

I agree that you dont need it notarized.
Detail what was promised , and who promised it.
Unless this is a follow up letter , I would not use the word demand. Adres it to the employment manager , or your boss, or his immediate boss. dont send it to your old boss if you think he doesnt want to pay you for it.
Just something like ,
Dear sirs,
During my employment with your firm I incurred some expenses associated with my employment. My supervisor, Mr Bill Nurk told me these expenses were to be reimbursed.
I have since left your company , but these amounts are still outstanding.
Could you please advise how this matter is to be handled ?
Regards
signiture
Bills :
whatever it was date amount
Total: $xxx
This should have been dealt with when you left the employer.
Good luck.

I think what you're really wanting is proof that it was sent and delivered. If that's what you're after, take it to the post office, and send it by certified mail, with a return receipt requested. You can specify the person to whom it must be delivered; they must sign for the letter in order to get it, and the signature is on a detatchable card that is then returned to you. It's acceptable proof in a court of law of a letter having been sent.

I would write it in a business manner showing no anger and showing a lot of detail, then have it notorized and make copies. Send one set certified to the company and one set to yourself. When you get yours back, don't open it, just file it in case they say you never sent one.

you do not need it notarized.
However, send the letter certified, and request delivery receipt so that you know the ex-employer, or one of its agents, received the letter.

I would not get it notorized but I would send it with a confirmation return when they receive it.
