Dear [ ]:
You may have a good reason to overlook the first notice we sent you on [October 1] for the [$153] remaining on your account. However, I want to remind you that not paying your bill in timely fashion can jeopardize your credit rating.
You have been a valued costumer for [over 10 years] and I want you to know that we sincerely appreciate your business. Please remit the amount due in the enclosed envelope as soon as possible. If there is a problem and you are unable to pay the bill in full, please call me at [800/555-5555] to arrange payment schedule.
We look forward to your continued business.
Sincerely,

Korean Trap! / 한국인 실수 교정
Common mistakes Korean speakers make.
한국인이 자주 하는 실수를 알아봅시다.
한국어의 '~까지'를 영어로 옮길 때 'until'과 'by'를 혼동하는 경우가 많습니다. 'By'는 마감 기한(그 날짜 이전에 완료)을 나타내고, 'until'은 어떤 상태가 그 시점까지 계속됨을 의미합니다. 대금 청구서에서 납부 기한을 표현할 때는 반드시 'by'를 사용해야 합니다.
