RE: Rank and Full Name’s Lease Agreement for Manufacture Make, Model and VIN #
Dear Sir or Ma’am:
Pursuant to the Servicemembers’ Civil Relief Act (“SCRA”) 50 U.S.C. App. Section 535,
this letter is my formal written notice to terminate the vehicle lease agreement for the above
referenced motor vehicle.
I am currently serving on active duty with the Branch of Armed Forces. I received
orders to deploy in support of Operation Name for 180 days or longer / I received orders for a
permanent change of station from the continental United States to outside the continental
United States. The SCRA states a servicemember may terminate a vehicle lease upon written
notice and delivery of the vehicle within 15 days of receiving the notice. I plan to deliver the
vehicle to your dealership on Date.
Under the SCRA, all unpaid lease amounts for the period preceding the date of

Please find the copy of My Orders to Deploy / PCS / Letter from CO.
If you have any questions or concerns, you may contact me at the above address, or my
commanding officer’s address on the attached letter.
Respectfully Submitted,
