You are not being fair to yourself or to us

come up for my personal decision, I want to
urge you once more to give it attention. It's
always unpleasant for us and for you to get to
extremes in collection.
We still feel sure that you have simply neg-
lected it; or that there has been some reason
why you delayed payment. Deal frankly with
us and you'll find us pretty decent people to deal
with.
We dislike to find that you make no response
to our notices; we must hear from you at once.
