Rewriting
Rewrite the following request for payment in a more polite
form
Dear Sir,
You have owed us £567.00 since February, which means you
haven't paid us for three months.
We wrote to you twice and amazingly you didn't bother answering
us, yet you've been a customer for years.
Anyway, we're not going on like this, so if you don't tell us why you
haven't paid, or send the money you owe us in ten days, we'll sue
you. After all, we've got bills from our own suppliers, and besides
we explained our rules for giving credit, i.e. payment on final
dates, some time ago.
Yours etc.
R.Lancaster
