Demand Letter for Small Claims

I am suing contractor I hired to fix furnace but he broke it and made threats demanding more money to come back on what should have been warranty work. I send pictures of damage but no demand letter out of fear.

The short answer is: no. HOWEVER, setting expectations up front, clearly identifying the issues and your evidence could facilitate a quicker settlement. The letter can also serve as a shot across the other party's bow to force the party to report the issue to their insurance company which MAY make resolving the damage claims a quicker affair.
