收款信一般要连续发出。
写第一封信的目的,只是为了提醒客户,他的欠款已经过期。在信中,要简单而有礼貌地要求他付款。
第二封信仍然是一种提醒信,但是,在口气上稍微强一点,有分寸地敦促对方付款。
在等待了相当一段时间之后,你就可写出第三封信。这封信应当坚持要求对方付款,它的口气是非常坚决的。
第四封信的内容是定要对方付款。信中可以强调指出:不得不动用律师,或者把拖欠的帐目交给一个收款机构,一定要把款收回来。
在收款的过程中,印好的信件可能比私人信件更加合适和有效,最少在通信的初期阶段是如此。由于不是特指某一个人的,这种印好的信件可以使欠款者比较体面地照办,而不至于感到为难,因而不会失掉和他做买卖的机会。
