Subject of the Letter:

Request for Payment of Outstanding Balance

Dear Mr. Roberts,

I am writing to formally request the payment of the overdue amount of $1,500, which was due on March 1, 2024. Despite previous reminders, the outstanding balance remains unpaid. This letter serves as a final notice before legal action may be taken to recover the debt.

Please arrange for the full payment of the amount owed within 10 days of receipt of this notice. Failure to do so will compel us to pursue further legal remedies, including but not limited to filing a claim in small claims court.

Should you have any questions or wish to discuss a payment plan, please contact me at your earliest convenience.

Los Angeles, ______________________
