催款函是卖放在划定刻日内未收到货款，提醒或敦促买方付款的翰札。

写此类催款函要求笔墨简练、意思清晰；同时要求语气诚实、关心，彬彬有理。不可随便猜疑对方存心拖欠不付，以免危险对方感情，倒运于到达索款的目标，或故障今后的营业。关于某些屡催不付，存心逃款的客户，语气则要倔强，说话判断。总之索款要掌握一个准绳：既要到达索款目标，又要与客户连结敌对干系。

（1）subject: Demanding Overdue Payment

Dear Sirs,

Account No.8756

As you are usually very prompt in settling your accounts, we wonder whether there is any special reason why we have not received payment of the above account, already a month overdue.

We think you may not have received the statement of account we sent you on 30th August showing the balance of US$ 80,000 you owe. We send you a copy and hope it may have your early attention.

Yours faithfully,

IT

酷爱的西席：

鉴于贵方老是及时结清项目，而此次逾期一个月仍未收到贵方上述账目标欠款，我们想晓得能否有何特别缘故原因。

我们猜测贵方年夜概未及时收到我们8月30日发出的80，000美元欠款的账单。现寄出一份，并希看贵方趁早处理。

你真诚的IT

Dear Sirs,

No doubt there is some special reason for delay in payment and we should welcome an explanation and also your remittance,

Yours faithfully,
