Dear [Name]:
In the past twelve months, you have purchased a
considerable amount of merchandise from us, which
pleases us greatly. Since you have never taken
advantage of the 2% discount we offer for early payment,
we thought that you might be unaware of just how
substantial your savings could be. The savings on last
year's purchases alone would have amounted to $[dollar
amount]. By paying us within 10 days of delivery, you
can actually save 24% of the face amount of your average
monthly bill over the period of a year.
There are, in fact, firms who prefer to borrow funds to take
advantage of this discount. Of course, you know what is
best for your own business, but we want to be sure that
you are aware of this savings factor.
We would like to take this opportunity to thank you for the
orders you have given to us over this past year and the
promptness with which you have always paid. It is a pleasure
doing business with your firm.
Yours very truly,
|
