LETTER
RETURN
RECEIPT REQUESTED AR N° RA 2942 8867 3FR
RE:
[Name of Exporter-Creditor] v. [Name of French Importer]
JWP/JM
Sirs,
The
Irish company, [Name of Exporter-Creditor], to which I am legal
counsel, has submitted to me a file which would appear to show that you owe it
the principal amount of £UK 40.000 (approximately Euro 62.000), as a
result of your receipt of merchandise ordered by your company.
In
the event of your failure to pay the said amount within one week from the date
of receipt of this letter, such company has instructed me to initiate legal
action and to take against you all appropriate measures to safeguard its
interests.
You
should consider this letter as legal formal notice with respect to all
deadlines, accrual of interest and other consequences under the Law -
particularly pursuant to Article 1153 of the Civil Code - and the significance
which the Courts give to formal legal notices.
I
remain available to examine this matter with your legal counsel, if he should
so desire.
Sincerely yours,
Jonathon Wise Polier
Attorney-at-Law/Avocat à la Cour
Note: As might be expected, a "mise en demeure" has more impact when it is sent by an attorney than by a claimant. The above model is normally expanded and adapted to the particular circumstances. For more information on the collection of commercial debts in France, click here.
