The letter
Dear «CustomerName»,
We reached out a little while ago about the open balance on your account, and it's still showing unpaid — so we wanted to follow up personally before it goes any further.
We know things pile up, and we're not in the business of assuming the worst about good customers. But we do need to get this resolved: our crews did the work, and carrying open balances is genuinely hard on a small company.
If money is tight this month, talk to us — we can usually work out timing that works for both sides. If there's a problem with the work or the bill, tell us that too; we can't fix what we don't know about.
Please reply to this email or give us a call this week so we can settle it together.
Sincerely,
«CompanyName»
