Request for Payment of Unearned Discounts
Dear
If you remember, we wrote to you about our terms on open
account and are wondering if perhaps the personnel in your
accounts payable department are unaware of these terms. If
this is the case, we would appreciate it if you would bring
this letter to their attention so that we may clear up any
misunderstanding in regards to your account.
The 2% discount we offer our customers is only applicable
when the merchandise received is paid for within 10 days of
delivery. We have been receiving your payments more than 10
after delivery. While you are under no obligation to pay
sooner, this does not entitle you to take advantage of the
discount.
Presently, the 2% discount is being deducted from the face
of the invoice and our charges for your earlier unearned
discount, which we have added to your statements, are being
disregarded.
The total amount due us at this time for unearned discounts
is $ We must ask that you remit your check in that
amount to us as soon as possible.
We do appreciate your business and hope that this letter
will help to clarify any misunderstanding.
