Business letter: payment reminder to a wholesale client

Version A: polite but clear

Subject: Invoices HOC-0412 and HOC-0419: payment now 34 days overdue

Dear Ms. [Surname],

Thank you again for featuring our autumn mugs in your window display. We have heard from several of your customers who found us through your shop, and we value the partnership.

I am writing about two invoices that remain open:

InvoiceDateAmountDue date
HOC-04122 September$1,240.0016 September
HOC-04199 September$865.5023 September
Total$2,105.50

We have not yet received payment for either of them, and our reminder of 1 October went unanswered. If payment has already been sent, please accept our thanks and let me know the date so we can match it.

Could you please settle the total of $2,105.50 by [date, 7 days from sending]? Bank details are at the bottom of both invoices. If a split payment would be easier, reply to this email with a date for each part and we will gladly agree it.

We would like to plan your winter order together, and we can confirm the new collection as soon as the account is up to date.

Kind regards, [Your name] Hollow Oak Ceramics | [phone]

Version B: firm (changed paragraphs)

Subject: Final reminder: $2,105.50 overdue since September

Despite our reminder of 1 October, invoices HOC-0412 and HOC-0419 remain unpaid, now 34 days past their due dates.

Please pay the full $2,105.50 by [date]. Until the account is settled, we are unable to dispatch new orders, including the winter collection reserved for you.

If we do not receive payment or a reply by that date, we will apply the late fee set out in our terms of trade (section 5) and pass the matter to our collections partner.

Notes for you

  • Use Version A first. If there is no reply within 7 days, send Version B.
  • Fill in the bracketed fields and check that the invoice amounts match your records.
  • Only mention the late fee if it really is in the terms the client signed.

Client: Hollow Oak Ceramics, a small pottery studio selling to gift shops Situation: a retail partner has not paid two invoices, now 34 days overdue. The studio wants the money, but also wants to keep the shop as a client. Delivered: one letter in two tones. Version A is below in full; Version B shows the paragraphs that change.

The client and all details are made up.

About this service

A raise or promotion request lands better when it reads like a business case: what you have delivered since your last review, in numbers where possible, what has grown in your role, a researched figure and a request for a meeting. We turn your notes into a short letter or email to your manager that is confident without sounding like an ultimatum. It names the salary or title you want and gives your manager what they need to argue for it upwards.

What is included

  • What you getA raise or promotion request with your achievements in numbers, the figure or title you ask for and a meeting request. You get it as text on the order page to send as an email or bring to your review.
  • Results in numbersRevenue, savings, projects, clients
  • Role growthWhat you do now beyond the job title
  • A clear figureThe salary or title you ask for
  • Meeting requestA concrete next step
  • Confident toneNo threats, no apologies

What we need from you

Your role and time in it, your main results since the last raise, new responsibilities, the salary or title you want and where that figure comes from.

We will ask you:

  • What are your main results since the last raise?
  • Are you asking for a raise, a promotion or both?
  • What figure or title do you want?
  • How do you usually talk to your manager?

Questions and answers

Should I mention an offer from another company?

Only if it is real and you are ready to accept it. We can include it calmly, but the letter works without it.

Do you research salaries for me?

We do not look up salary data. Give us the figures you found and we present them clearly.

Will this get me the raise?

It makes your case clear and easy to pass on, but the decision depends on your employer.
