Re: D ebt Settlement Proposal

Account Number: [ Account Number]

To Whom It May Concern,

I am writing to you regarding the money you are claiming payment for, on the above

account. I am unable to repay this amount in full due to the severe financial

difficulties I and my family are facing. I have recently lost both of my jobs as a result

of a car accident and subsequent two-month stay at a hospital.

I can instead offer the total amount of $2,500 as a full and final settlement. If this is

accepted, you agree that you or any associate company can take no further action

against myself to enforce or collect this debt and that I will be released from all

liability. Please also confirm that you will also mark my credit reference agency file to

show that you have accepted the above amount as the full and final settlement and that

the account is closed and paid.

I am able to pay the amount I have offered above within 10 days of receiving written

confirmation of you having accepted my offer.

Yours faithfully,

Jane A. Pizer
