Dear John,

Due to the lack of response to numerous letters, faxes, and telephone calls requesting immediate payment of invoice no. XXX, we have been forced to hand the matter over to our lawyers at Qwerty & Company.

Your account has been overdue for three months despite our business terms specifying terms of 'Seven Working Days'.

It is with regret that I take this measure, but your lack of correspondence leaves me with no choice in this matter.

Sincerely,

[Signature]
