Dear Mr Smith,
Outstanding Fee Balance – $9,125.00
I’ve been advised that you may prefer to settle the attached invoices by way of monthly payments rather than trying to finalise them all at once.
If that IS the case, are you in a position to pay them according to the following schedule?
amount to be paid by
$2,500.00 20 October 2018
$2,500.00 20 November 2018
$2,125.00 20 December 2018
$2,000.00 20 January 2019
If
1: this will provide you with some assistance and you are, please remit the first instalment as above.
2: you are not able to pay in the manner set out above, please contact me to let me know what you are able to manage as I do have to report to the Directors later this week and they are likely to suggest that we revert to policy in the absence of any reply from you.
I hope this helps.
