Dear (Name),
I am sorry you had to write me again about my bill. I know it is long overdue and I shall make every effort to pay it before the end of the month.
You have been most patient and considerate and I am grateful.
ADVERTISEMENTS:
Yours sincerely,
(Your Name)
Dear Sir,
Your Locus stand has gone beyond reprieve on this matter and leaves us with no option but to take recourse to legal action since you have not even showed the basic courtesy to respond to any of our five reminders. Our Managing Director has taken a serious view of the situation.
