HOOK STREET CAPITAL
Eden Gardens LLC — Unpaid Invoice #20028
$20,000 · ~79 days past due · context for a firm demand letter
|
|
Asher — a second matter, separate from the HOA. I need a demand letter for an unpaid
consulting invoice. On tone: keep the letter itself short and firm, not litigious — I
want them to pay and re-engage, not to be sued. Below is the full background so you have what you
need to write it.
|
|
The relationship
|
|
I was engaged by Eden Gardens LLC on a consulting engagement under a signed contract
(signatory: Alan Steinhardt, Manager). My day-to-day contacts were Eli and Huvie Steinhardt.
|
|
What happened — the timeline
|
• I performed the engagement and on March 23 delivered the Phase I Progress Memo
— the core work product.
• After that delivery, I was waiting on Eden — I needed answers and decisions
from them to continue. The engagement stalled on their side, not mine.
• I was never officially told anything was wrong. It was an unspoken cold shoulder —
no notice, no complaint, no communication.
• Then a recent hire of theirs — their new COO, Abraham Perkowski —
reached out, saying he wanted to follow up and "make peace." I had not been told there was anything
to make peace about. In that conversation he told me I would not be paid.
• On May 1, in writing, Perkowski's position was that Eli would remit payment only
if I first provided further contract-required information — i.e., they are treating my
delivered work as incomplete. My position: I performed and delivered, and I was the one left
waiting on them.

The invoice
|
|
Invoice #20028 — $20,000.00, due March 1, 2026. As of today it is
~79 days past due. Nothing has been paid.
|
|
What I want the letter to do
|
A short, firm, professional letter that:
1. Requests payment of the $20,000 on invoice #20028.
2. Makes clear I performed and delivered, and that the delay has been on Eden's side —
I was awaiting their input, and no concern was ever formally raised with me.
3. Leaves the door open — I would genuinely continue the work and believe there is more
I can do for them. This is a request to make it right, not a threat to sue.
Nothing needs to be attached to this email. On request I can send you the signed contract,
invoice #20028, the March 23 Progress Memo, and the email chain (including Perkowski's May 1 email).
Tell me what you need — and I am happy to review your draft before it goes out.
Thank you,
Sam
