Dear Sir:
In looking over our accounts, we find that your purchases have lately been increasing considerably and that your payments have been few and unimportant. Statements have been sent regularly, we believe, but have probably been overlooked because of the stress of your other affairs. Such things, of course, can happen with any of us, especially when we have many other matters to look after.
We have always valued your account, and we greatly desire our pleasant relations to continue. As the amount that you owe us is now long over-due, we would appreciate your returning the enclosed bill to be receipted during the next few days.
Yours very truly,

Dear Sir:
Your attention has twice been called to your account for $——, but for some reason you do not reply to our letters.
Our terms, as you know, are thirty days, and we cannot allow a longer extension except by special arrangement. We have borne the matter very patiently, realizing that unusual conditions sometimes prevent one's doing as he desires. At the same time, it is entirely out of reason that your account should still be owing at this time. May we not expect your remittance by return mail?
Should we not hear from you by the 15th, we shall draw on you, and, if you have not remitted in the meantime, please provide for our draft upon its arrival.
