The presentment letter must be sufficiently detailed to put the officer on notice of the claim so that he can investigate its validity. Gilmore v. Commonwealth, 417 Mass. 718 (1994). If the claimant is alleging multiple theories of liability, each one must be set forth in the presentment letter. See Tambolleo v. West Boylston, 34 Mass.App.Ct. 526 (1993).
Kopelman and Paige have a nice site regarding this:
MUNICIPAL TORT LIABILITY GENERAL LAWS CHAPTER 258 General Laws, chapter 258, section 1, et seq. establishes the procedure for asserting tort claims against municipalities.
