Re: Employment Discrimination Claim of [Client Full Name]
WY Dept. Complaint No.: [If filed]
EEOC Charge No.: [If filed]
FOR SETTLEMENT PURPOSES
Dear [Mr./Ms./Mx. Last Name]:
This firm represents [Client Full Name] ("our client") regarding [his/her/their] claims of unlawful employment discrimination against [Company Legal Name] ("[Company Short Name]" or "the Company").
I. LEGAL FRAMEWORK
A. Wyoming Fair Employment Practices Act
Wyoming prohibits employment discrimination under Wyo. Stat. Section 27-9-101 et seq.
WFEPA coverage under §§ 27-9-102(b), 27-9-105: The selected claim must involve a covered employer and a person otherwise qualified, or a qualified disabled person, and a practice listed in § 27-9-105(a). The statute lists age (40 or older), sex, race, creed, color, national origin, ancestry, pregnancy, and qualified disability. The employer definition generally reaches persons with two or more Wyoming employees, as well as listed public employers, and excludes religious organizations or associations.
Note: Section 27-9-105 expressly lists creed. Analyze the particular religion or creed theory under the applicable state and federal law; do not assume a state claim is unavailable because the word “religion” is absent.
B. Federal Claim, If Applicable
If separately supported and timely, the additional federal claim is [FEDERAL STATUTE AND SECTION], based on [SPECIFIC FACTS AND COVERAGE BASIS]. [Remove this paragraph if no federal claim is asserted.]
C. Administrative Filing
State administrative filing: Wyo. Stat. § 27-9-106(a) permits an aggrieved person to file a verified written complaint with the Department of Workforce Services within six months of the alleged violation. A settlement demand is separate from that department complaint. If a federal claim is asserted, determine its charge and court deadlines separately.
II. FACTUAL BACKGROUND
[Client Full Name] was employed by [Company Short Name] from [Start Date] through [End Date / Present] as a [Job Title] in [City], Wyoming.
III. LEGAL CLAIMS
A. Violation of Wyoming Fair Employment Practices Act
[Company Short Name] violated Wyoming law by [SPECIFIC ADVERSE PRACTICE] because of [PROTECTED BASIS], as shown by [KEY FACTS].
Key Provisions:
- Employer coverage under § 27-9-102(b) must be checked, including the public-employer and religious-organization language
- Six-month state administrative complaint period under Wyo. Stat. § 27-9-106(a)
- Hearing-officer relief under § 27-9-106(n) may include cease-and-desist, remedial action, make-whole relief, back pay, or front pay
B. Federal Claims
[If separately verified: Company Short Name also violated [FEDERAL STATUTE AND SECTION] by [SPECIFIC PRACTICE AND FACTS]. Remove if no federal claim is asserted.]
IV. DAMAGES
A. State vs. Federal Remedies
The settlement amount below is a negotiated demand. Wyo. Stat. § 27-9-106(n) lists possible hearing-officer relief, including remedial and make-whole measures and back or front pay. Any federal damages or fees must be assessed under the particular federal claim before inclusion.
B. Claim-Specific Recovery Review
State relief sought: [BACK PAY / FRONT PAY / REINSTATEMENT / OTHER REMEDIAL ACTION].
Additional federal relief, if supported: [CLAIM, SOURCE, COVERAGE, LIMITS, AND AMOUNT].
C. Summary of Damages

Legal authority
- Wyo. Stat. § 27-9-102(b) (employer definition)
- Wyo. Stat. § 27-9-105 (prohibited employment practices and age threshold)
- Wyo. Stat. § 27-9-106 (six-month department filing and administrative remedies)
A demand letter is a formal written request to fix a problem or pay what is owed, sent before anyone files a lawsuit. It gives the other side a real chance to settle, creates a record of your attempt to resolve things, and in many cases (unpaid debts, insurance claims, broken contracts) starts a legally required response window. A well-written demand letter lays out what happened, what you want, and a deadline to act, which is often enough to get results without ever going to court.
