Re: Account # 2958A
Dear Mr. Brown,
I want to thank you for the conversation that we had earlier today and for agreeing to a reduction in payment for my outstanding account. As discussed, I will implement a bi-weekly payment of $250, effective Friday, March 31. I will ensure that payment is in my bank account for your automatic withdrawal by 10:00 a.m. every Friday payment period until my account is paid in full.
I very much appreciate your understanding my current financial situation, and will contact you should things improve.
Please do not hesitate to contact me if you have any questions.
Best regards,
Jason Chalmers
