Q: I need to send a certified registered letter for payment from owner due on an abandoned vehicle in Texas
I have all the info on the guy I just need help writing it or someone show me a sample one or a cope of one
A:
For payment of what? This kind of letter is necessarily very fact-specific. You'll want to be very business like, avoid opinions or characterization of the other party or their actions (or failure to act). State what they owe, what they debt is for, when you expect them to pay, give them a deadline, and tell them what you'll do if they don't pay. Short and to the point is best - no unnecessary stories, explanations or recriminations.
Such as:
You currently have an unpaid invoice with our company in the amount of $xxxx, which has been outstanding since (the day it was due to be paid.) As you know these charges were for (whatever the work was, or attach a copy of your invoice).
We hereby demand that you pay $xxx no later than (xxx date). [if necessary, you can add - Your check may be made payable to xxx, and sent to xxx address]
If you do not pay the amount due by (xxx date), we will file suit to collect the balance due, plus interest court costs and attorneys fees.
