Does anyone know what a letter of defense should say?

Are you talking about an affidavit of defense that goes along with a wage assignment? (Usually just fill in the blanks).
Otherwise what kind of defense are you talking about?

Yes, I still learning the terms - can I find a blank affidavit online? I am sending the letters revoking wage assignments on internet payday loans and trying to cover all the bases from what I have read here an under the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act.

Well, to me, an affidavit of defense is different than a revocation letter. In Illinois if a creditor initiates a wage assignment, they are required to provide an affidavit of defense that the customer can fill out if the have a valid defense (ie the account is not theirs, is a valid defense).
A wage revocation letter just means you are revoking your wage assignment, it's not really a defense. But it doesn't have to say much. You can state "Dear XXXX Company, I hereby revoke the wage assignment I signed on xx/xx/xxxx." That is just as effective as if you quote all sorts of laws and what not.
There are letters here on the site. You can go to the search box in the upper right-hand corner and try searching for "wage revocation letter" or "wage assignment revoke" and you should get a bunch of variations.

Thank you, for clearing it up for me. I'm in Nevada and have 3 internet payday loans that I am trying to end the cycle and get out of my rut. I signed up with PDL Assistance and closed the account the places will be debiting next payday but according to Nevada law I need to notify them prior to the default. I want to avoid my employer being put in the middle I am already going through the humilation of knowing they will harass me while PDL tries to reach a settlement with them.
