Letter of Lease Cancellation

[Jay Yoo]

Good Monday Landlords!

Im a new in landlording in WA, and REI. Future tenants failed to give me notice and I contacted the tenant at her work to find out why she is not responding to my texts, voicemesages.

Lease is starting on July 1st 2020, and signed on 5/24/2020. However, she hasnt given notice to me and I contacted her supervisor at work, then finally she contacted me. She said she was sick.

Is the letter below good enough or should I be recording her voice with her agreement? Any additional steps to do especially with tenants-landlords issues lately?

Is my wording too strong or is this ok for sake of legal evidence?

Thank you!
