A review of your account indicates a present balance of
$_ owed our firm.

Every account is carefully evaluated to establish a
credit limit that we believe is consistent not only with our
interests, but the interests of the customer as well. We have
established $_, as your credit allowance and believe it is
appropriate.

Since you are at or near that credit limit, we can ship
future orders only on a C.O.D. basis, until your balance is
reduced.

We would be pleased to review your account with you if
you believe an increased credit line is justified.
We are confident you understand the need for this action.

Very truly,
