【正确答案】 March 30 Dear Frank, As you are usually prompt in settling your accounts, I wonder whether there is any special reason why I have not received payment of Account No. 9876 so far, already a month overdue. Please check your records. I think you may not receive the payment reminder we have sent you on March 3 showing the balance of $ 10 000 you owe. No doubt there are some special reasons for delay in payment and we would welcome an explanation and also your remittance. I will send you a copy of the payment reminder and hope that it will receive your early attention. Yours sincerely, David
