Our lease got over, my ex-roommate got security deposit back to his address, now he is refusing to pay back ?
I have written an email to him.
1) Can you please let me know this email is perfect or do it need modifications ?
2) Should i send this through phone text message, in this case i will be guaranteed to me, it is delivered.
3) Actually he was also supposed to pay me back my power bill that was in my name only. i called him, he did not picked. finally after some days he picked, when i messaged him you are not picking because of non-payment of power bill. then on phone we had an verbal fight, using the abusive language each other.
4) Also in US he is working on some work visa, could this prove some beneficiary to me in small claim suit case.

Look dude, it is time to paying me back.
I am attaching this in-person testimony as a evidence(joint lease sign agreement). There was a joint security deposit of 250$. A check no – 3006 was send on April-24, 2009 to
…………………………………………………….
It was me who spend 6-7 hours of cleaning, that is why this amount of security deposit came up. I trusted you; you will give address for both of us for refunding of security deposit. But I was wrong.
Money has already destroyed our friendship. it will be best in your interest to return it timely.
Best of Luck.!
NOTE: this email has a notice period of 10 days. Beyond this time, as per my right and evidence, I will be filing in small claim court.
Best Regards,
Johnny,

The note is missing many things, for starters, email is NOT legal notification. You need to provide something in writing, that you dated, signed and gave to him. Email is not admissible.
You also need to simply state relevant facts, that you can prove you paid 125 of the deposit and that you expect 125 paid to you. Your email does not clarify that.
He may have very well given the landlord both addresses, the landlord returns ONE check, not multiple, it is up to you to divide it.
perfect
Send it by email, by text and by mail to his address.
Also contact LL and ask for your security deposit. He should have sent one check in both names or two checks. Find out about this.
FYI: It is not time to PAY not paying
Print out a copy of the letter above and have it Notarized by a Notary Public. Make a photo copy of the original notarized letter – then Federal Express or Express mail the photo copy along with all photo copies of the receipts of the bills you paid on behalf of your ex-roommate and please make sure you send it Federal Express or Express Mail – that way you can go to the companies website and make a print-out of when the photocopies of the letter/bills/receipts were delivered, which will also have the time and date said letter/bills were delivered to your ex-roommate. If he still chooses to ignores you, you should then proceed with filing a claim at the Small Claims Court. If and when you go to Court, be sure to remember to bring with you all bills/receipts and the ORIGINAL NOTARIZED COPY of the letter sent to your ex-roommate as well as the delivery tracking print-out from the website of the delivery company you chose to use.
Note: If you don’t have his address, get it from the Landlord. If he won’t give it to you – file a claim against him/her as well, so that they will both have to appear in court together.
Don’t send it snail mail, because he could always say, that he did not receive it in the mail! By sending it Federal Express or Express Mail you can go online to track when your letter/bills/receipts were delivered. Lots of luck to you.
