Dear Mr. Folger:
Your balance with Murray’s Furniture Warehouse is 120 days past due. Our efforts to collect from you by mail, fax, and telephone have been fruitless. You still owe $2,499 of the original $4,792 in purchases you made at our store on June 8. The last check we received from you was on August 8.
If we do not receive a payment within 10 days, your account will be turned over to Bradford Collection Agency for further handling.
Sincerely,
[/tab]

Dear Mr. Richardson:
Despite our numerous attempts by letter, telephone, and numerous onsite visits to your restaurant to collect your past due balance, you have neglected to make any effort in making payments to Maplewood Florists. Your restaurant is now $350 in arrears. Having broken a series of promises to pay, we cannot trust your word any longer and must take more serious action.
We have turned your account over to our collection service. They are authorized to use any and all legal means deemed appropriate to collect your payment.
Sincerely,
[/tab]

Dear Ms. Butler:
Having broken a series of promises to pay your balance, we can no longer rely on Sunnydale Kennel to follow through on its obligations. Although we have made significant efforts to collect by phone and fax, you are 95 days late on your bill of $1,598.
Your negligence in payments is a breach of our monthly installments policy. Therefore, we have assigned a collection agency to resolve your payment situation.
Sincerely,

Dear Mrs. Smith:
Your refusal to pay your outstanding balance has forced us to turn your account over to our collection service. The balance of $956.00 for legal services rendered is 100 days past due. We have offered you numerous opportunities to make payment arrangements that are affordable and can assist you in times of financial stress. However, without having received any form of response from you, our office will now proceed more aggressively.
Your account is now being handled by Martin & Martin Associates. If you have any questions or need further information regarding your past due account, please contact their office at (800) 555-0000.

Dear Mr. Bradford :
We feel we have been more than patient in awaiting your payments, however, no business can survive when customers are consistently delinquent on their accounts. As a result, Fire Safe, Inc. can no longer afford to do business with Erie Steel.
