Example letter Dear ____,
Thank you for opening an account with our company. As one of the leaders in this
industry, we can assure you that our products and our services will not disappoint you.
I would like to take this opportunity to briefly set forth our terms and conditions for
maintaining an open account with our firm. Invoices are payable within 30 days of re-
ceipt, with a 2% discount available if your payment is remitted within ten (10) days of
receipt. We consider this incentive an excellent opportunity for our customers to increase
their profit margin, and therefore encourage the use of this discount privilege whenever
possible. We do, however, require that our invoices be paid within the specified time, for
our customers to take advantage of this 2% discount.
At various times throughout the year we may offer our customers additional dis-
counts on our products. In determining your cost in this case, you must apply your special
discount first, and then calculate your 2% discount for early payment.
As the credit manager, I will be happy to answer any questions you may have re-
garding your new account. I can be reached at the above number. Welcome to our family
of customers.
