What Alaska law requires
A written, itemized list of the amounts deducted (accrued rent, and damage beyond normal wear and tear), sent with any refund. Deadline: 14 days if the tenant gave proper notice, or 30 days if damage deductions are made or the tenant did not give proper notice. The list and refund may be hand-delivered or mailed to the tenant's last known address. If the landlord does not know the address but has reason to know how to contact the tenant, the landlord must make a reasonable effort to deliver them.

Fill-in draft
Replace every [bracketed] item. If your state or city requires specific wording, a specific form, or a translated version, that requirement controls over this draft. Courts dismiss eviction cases over defective notices — if anything is unclear, talk to a lawyer.
