Dear [Name of Recipient]:
I am again writing you regarding your [Check No. ] in the amount of [$____], which as you know, has been returned to us twice by the bank.
We are disappointed that we have not heard from you since the last letter we sent, on
[Date Sent], in which we asked you either to pay by certified check, money order or cash, or to call and possibly make other payment arrangements.
If we do not hear from you within 14 days of the date of this letter, we will turn the matter over to a collection agency. We would like to avoid this action, as it not the best solution for either you or us, but of course you will be the one who is seriously affected, since even one incident of this nature on your credit history can do damage to your financial standing lasting for years.
We hope to hear from you before [Date 14 days from Today’s Date].
Cordially,
