二、 SAMPLE (范文)
Dear __________:
I am afraid your failure to settle your account, which is over due for more than six months, will leave us with no alternative but resort to legal proceedings.
This is to notify you that unless we receive your check for $7,550.50 by June 30, we will place your account in the hands of our attorneys for collection.
Yours sincerely,
_____________[name]
