Unfortunately, it is not possible to provide a meaningful answer to this question without having much more information.

It is MUCH better and usually a lot less expensive in the long run to do everything correctly from the beginning rather than trying to fix problems afterwards.

A cease and desist letter must be taken very seriously. First of all, it puts the recipient on notice that her activities may be infringing upon someone else's rights (which means that if she were to continue such activities after the notice, that may be construed as willful infringer).
