Do I reply
Date: Wed, 07/20/2011 - 16:54
I got a Michael J Scott "Courtesy Copy" lawsuit in the mail on Saturday and my parents said someone was looking for me at their house on Saturday regarding some papers (process server is my guess). Do i need to respond to this lawsuit if I haven't officially been served? Should I just call the guy looking for me and let him serve me? I thought I read somewhere that you still need to respond if you haven't officially been served. I guess my question is, WHAT DO I DO? What is the first step besides the obvious, get an attorney (can't find a local one that handles this by the way and probably can't afford it).
The letter than accompanied this lawsuit says "This letter does not constitute "service" of the lawsuit and you are not required to file an answer at this time. The citation is being turned over to a process server and they will begin attempting to serve you."

Hi! Welcome to the Forums! I don't think it will be a good idea
Hi!
Welcome to the Forums!
I don't think it will be a good idea to ignore this letter. But don't give a reply just now. Wait for a few days. May be the process server will serve you after a few days.
