Dear ___________________:
Will you get off your dead ass and take care of your obligations! We are still holding the insufficient check that we called you on over a month ago. I know you told me you were waiting to get paid for a job that was due over a year ago. Get real. If they have not paid you yet they are probably not going to. That is not our problem.
Girl, you are going to go to jail if you do not pay for this check. We are not willing to wait any longer for our money. If I had my way, we would not sell you any product at all. You are not a good risk. We put you on open account and you drug your feet in paying us, so we more...
