Final Demand for Payment

This letter is intended to be firm, but not confrontational. The idea is to salvage the customer relationship, but let them know that the account is seriously delinquent and that action will be taken if the account is not brought up-to-date. Note that by providing a 10-day notice, the company obligates itself to take action after 10 days. Failure to do so will send the message that you're not to be taken seriously on this matter, and further collection efforts will be even more difficult.
