| At this point, the reader will know why you are writing, so pace his or her expectation by getting right to the point. | Dear Mr. Bateman:
Because you are so far behind in your payments on your 52 inch Toshiba television set, we need to agree to a way for you to meet your credit obligation and resolve the issue of your unpaid balance. |
|
| Lead the reader by reminding him or her of the obligation. | The enclosed photocopies of the Purchase Order (M8024778) and Purchase Agreement (M9477543) show the date of purchase (December 17, 20xx), the cost of the set ($2698), the amount of your monthly payments ($115), and the total cost of the purchase including the finance charge over 36 months ($4140). | |
| Blend outcomes by giving the reader one last opportunity to pay. | Mr. Bateman, it would be to your advantage to take advantage of this last opportunity to pay before we are forced to repossess the television and take legal action against you to obtain compensation for our time and trouble. If you have any questions at all about this, please call me by Friday, May 26, 20xx. | |
| Motivate by setting an end date and clarifying what you will do on that date. | If I have not heard from you or received your check or money order for the full amount of the transaction, $4140, by May 31, 20xx, I will have our attorney arrange for repossession and other appropriate legal action. | |
| Sincerely, | ||
| Paul Mielhe, President
