One of my trademark's which I got registered in 2018 is being used by a foreign company. I had forgotten all about the trademark. But to my shock, GST Intelligence officers landed up at my home and have sent me summons to appear. I did appear today and categorically have denied that I have to do anything with the foreign company. The company has a website and is doing business in India. The intelligence officer was very courteous and understanding. But it seems the GST Intelligence officers suspect that I am somehow associated with the foreign company, just because I have registered the trademark. They have asked me to produce all my bank statements since July 2017(the date of trademark application) and I have consented. I need a lawyer to draft a cease and desist letter and send to the foreign company through email and post. Any further advice is welcome. This thing has stressed me out.

if company refuses to comply take legal proceedings against foreign company for infringement of your trademark and seek interim reliefs
No specified method of delivery is required for a cease-and-desist letter.
Because it is not a legal document, you can write and send the letter yourself without the help of a legal professional, or you can hire an attorney to write and serve the letter for you.
