There are a few debt collection letter samples you can see here. One of them is good as the first reminder to the recipients to pay their debt. The second debt collection letter is also good as a kind reminder. However, the last collection letter is quite firm. It asks the recipients to follow the instruction in the letter. Otherwise, the writer will impose the sanction towards the recipients if they fail to do the instruction. Please have a look.

By sending us a check today, you can preserve your excellent credit record. Because you have always paid your account promptly in the past, we are sure that you will want to settle this balance. We will be happy to work out satisfactory payment agreements.

Please use the enclosed envelope to send in your check or call (800) 526–1945, toll-free, to discuss your account.

Sincerely,

Dear Mr. Ronaldo,

RE : Debt Repayment Reminder

On behalf of Asian Bank, I would like to remind you of the overdrawn amount on your current account. The overdraft has been going on for a month with the outstanding amount of Rp 2,000,000. Therefore, we kindly request you to top up the balance before the end of this month. Otherwise, further actions may be taken against you.

If you have already settled this amount, please ignore this reminder. I thank you for your prompt settlement.

Thank you for your transactions with Asian Bank.

Sincerely,
