Terminated tenant "why you don't want an eviction" letter

Hello all,

I plan on terminating a tenancy on a subpar tenant.  However, there exists a possibility they will not leave willingly.  My thought is to include with the termination notice a form letter outlining the merits of leaving when the lease is up - things like, eviction on your record making it hard to get a job/apartment, credit consequences, collection agencies, etc.

Does anyone have such a letter that they use that they wouldn't mind sharing?

 I've found that filming your team throwing everything that the non paying tenant owns in the yard while it's snowing and putting it on YouTube for close to 1 million people to watch works pretty well as a deterrent.
