Dear Mr. Holland:

Your account in the amount of $742 is now 180 days overdue. You have already received a generous extension of time, and in fairness to our other customers, we cannot permit a longer delay in payment.

Because you have not responded to any of our letters, we will be forced t turn your account over to our attorney for collection of we do not receive payment immediately. Such action, of course, will damage your previously fine credit rating.

Why not avoid this unpleasant situation by sending your check in the enclosed return envelope within 10 days or by calling (800) 526-1945 to discuss payment.

Sincerely,

Henry Bliss
Sales Manager
