A letter of payment is a letter that accompanies a payment for a product or service previously acquired. For example, if your business bought 30 new computers, and the payment was due on November 30th, you would send a check or other form of payment, along with a formal letter of payment, to the business or individual you bought them from. The letter of payment specifies whom the payment is from and what the payment is for.
Tips for writing a letter of payment
- Make sure you state explicitly what the payment is for
- Make sure you include the transaction information in your letter to make it easier for the recipient to process.
