Dear Sirs, |

We
enclose a statement of account up to
May 30,
from which you will see that you owe us £11,247
for goods delivered in
April 2005.
As you will know, our conditions of sale stipulate payment as net thirty
days. |

An
early settlement
would be appreciated. |

| |
Dear Sirs, |
| |
We have had no reply from you concerning the statement of
account sent on
June 15,
and conclude that our letter of that date
must have gone astray. We
enclose a duplicate of our letter, and statement to which we ask you to
give your earliest attention. |
| |
Yours
faithfully, |
| |
Michael Williamson
for Chief Accountant
HARPER & GRANT LTD. |
