Re: Account of [name account is under]; Account No. [insert account number]
Dear ______________:
I recently received a letter from your agency requesting I pay $________ owed to [name of original creditor]. I have attached a copy of the letter you sent to me.
Since I cannot possibly repay this debt in full, I am writing to ask if you would be willing to accept half of the amount owed as payment in full. If you could accept half, I could send you a cashier's check [or money order] as soon as I receive notice that you will accept my offer.
If you agree to these terms, please sign and date this letter and return it to me. After receiving it, I will send you a check in the amount of $_________________ , which will constitute payment in full and release me from all further collection efforts by both the original creditor and your collection agency.
