Dear John,

Please find enclosed a cheque in the amount of $999. This is full and final payment of Invoice No.XXX dated 4-4-XX. Please accept my apologies for the delay in the dispatch of said cheque.

The delay was caused by some temporary internal delays at XYZ Corp. I am pleased to say these have now been resolved.

Once again, please accept my apologies. I very much look forward to our continuing business relationship.
