英語催款信書寫
1. How to start your letter?
You have not responded in any way to our recent letters about your
past due account.
We remind you once more of your open account that is now _____ days
beyond our _____-day terms.
Your account is still unpaid in spite of our continual reminders
asking for payment or an explanation for your delay.
We urgently request that you immediately pay your balance of
_____________, which has been outstanding since ___________[date>
despite several notices from us.
2. How to warn the recipient against further delay?
You must realize that we cannot afford to carry this debt on our
books any longer.
Any further delay in paying your balance due cannot be accepted.
You can no longer delay payment if you wish to keep your account
open.
Our next step is to take legal action to collect the money due us.
This is unpleasant for both of us and is damaging to your credit
rating.
3. How to specify your deadline or demand immediate payment?
We must now insist that you send you payment within the next five
days.
Unless I receive your remittance within the next three days, our
attorney will be instructed to start proceedings to recover the
debt.
If we do not receive remittance within five days from the above
date, we will have no choice but to pursue other collection
procedures.
After April 30, we will have no choice but to cancel your credit and
turn your account over to a collection agency.
4. How to end your letter?
We look forward to your prompt payment.
Your immediate response is necessary.
Whether or not we take legal action is now your decision.
Please make every effort to ensure that we are not forced to take
this drastic action.
We must hear from you at once to avoid further action.
II. SAMPLE
範文
Dear __________:
I am afraid your failure to settle your account, which is over due
for more than six months, will leave us with no alternative but
resort to legal proceedings.
This is to notify you that unless we receive your check for
$7,550.50 by June 30, we will place your account in the hands of our
attorneys for collection.
Yours sincerely,
_____________[name>
_____________[title>
