I was in almost this same situation before. I had someone send me a letter from his lawyer claiming copyright on a domain I purchased from an expired auction. It was just sitting there parked, it was a short .com so I bought it just to have it.
I contacted the person directly, and he was very rude about it, so I told him to go ahead and sue me; I wasn't doing anything with the domain to infringe on the name of his business. I never asked him for money, though, I was going to hold and see if he'd make me an offer but you shouldn't ask. We went back and forth a few times till he eventually backed down. A year goes by and he contacts me again with an ok offer and was nice about it this time. I just gave him the domain for free.
Good luck!
