Dear [Title] LAST,
Thank you for your letter of RECEIVED_DATE sending us a cheque for CURRENCY CHEQUE_AMOUNT on the account and asking for an extension of time in which to pay the balance.
As your account is now more than PAYMENT_DEFER overdue we find your present cheque quite insufficient. It is hardly reasonable to expect us to wait a further month for the balance, particularly as we invoiced the goods at a specially low price which was mentioned to you at the time.
We sympathise with your difficulties but need hardly remind you that it is in our customers’ long-term interests to pay their accounts promptly so as to qualify for discounts and at the same time build a reputation for financial reliability.
In the circumstances, we hope that in your own interests you will make arrangements to clear your account without further delay. We look forward to receiving your cheque for the balance on your account within the next few days.
