1. Reminder to Settle the Account
Dear Sir,
Our Auditors have drawn my attention to your account which still remains unsettled in spite of the fact that it is now considerably overdue. It seems the enclosed account has escaped your notice.
Therefore, we request you to settle the account at the earliest as I have a heavy bill to meet and have no alternative at present. In case you find the enclosed statement of account incorrect, or you have any complaints to make, please inform us immediately, so we may do our best to settle them.
