LETTER TO A CREDITOR

Dear Sir,

I acknowledge the receipt of your legal notice with regard to our outstanding account. I am sorry to say that your threat of legal proceedings proceedings in case of my failure to settle the payment of the earliest was not at all necessary. I desire a settlement perhaps more anxiously than you do; but you must realize that at the moment I lack the capacity to pay. In a few weeks, I am confident, I shall be in a position to meet my financial obligations toward you. I am prepared to accept a bill at three months if you care to draw one. I sincerely regret the delay which has occurred, but trust our relations will nevertheless remain cordial. Thanking you for your cooperation.

Yours faithfully,

Omer Pervez.

Dear Sirs,

Goods supplied by you to us in January/February 1993 were found defective. As they were below specifications and hence not fit for being supplied to our customers, so these were returned to you in March to April. As a result of this no payment is due from us to you.

Yours faithfully,

Alam Pervez

NOTICE FOR SETTLEMENT

Dear Sir,

It is now February 1994 and the account for goods supplied to you during February 1993 is still outstanding. We have already written to your several times regarding the matter and have furnished invoices in duplicate. In the circumstances, we regret to inform you that unless we receive the payment within a week, we may be compelled to instruct our lawyers to institute legal proceedings against you.

Yours faithfully,

Barkat Ali.

Dear Riyaz Gill,

Some errors were detected by your accountant who called for payment last week and so he took away the bill for readjustment which seems to have been again neglected in the duplicate invoice sent by you. Kindly send a proper invoice for setting the account. Thanking you,

Yours faithfully,

Shahid.

REQUESTING EARLY SETTLEMENT OF ANNUAL ACCOUNTS

Dear Sir,

We shall feel greatly obliged if you please send us your cheque for the balance of payments outstanding from the last year. As our balance sheets are drawn during the first week of January every year, delay in receiving payment from you would prevent us from closing our account books. A duplicate invoice is enclosed herewith for early action.

Yours faithfully,

Riyaz Gill.

Dear Chiragh Din,

I do not deny having received Rs.10,000/- from you on the occasion of my daughter’s marriage but I still need some time to clear off your debt.

Yours sincerely,

Shahad Din.

Dear Chiragh Din,

I do not remember having received any money from you on the occasion of my daughter’s marriage. If at all I take you at your word that you spent something on the occasion, it may have been so out of your sense of social duty more than a case of lending me. Hence I owe you no money.

Yours sincerely,

Shahab Din.
