How to use it well
- Statutory notices (pay-or-quit and similar) are jurisdiction-specific legal documents. This letter is the step before that, and your attorney or state housing authority supplies the formal one.

Dear «DisplayName»,
Despite previous reminders, the outstanding balance of «OverDueBalance» on your account remains unpaid.
If the balance is not paid or an arrangement made within [X] days, we will begin the formal process provided under your lease and applicable law. We’d prefer not to; talking to us now keeps options open.
This letter is part of the record of your account. Payment plans remain available if arranged before the deadline above.
Sincerely,
[Your name]

Template questions
How do I use this template?
Download the .docx, open it in Word, and replace the [bracketed] placeholders: your letterhead, dates, and any wording you want to change. The «field» codes stay: they fill in automatically when you merge. Then upload it to MergeNinja (or use Word's own mail merge) against your QuickBooks customers data.
What are the «fields» in the letter?
Real Word merge fields, named to match MergeNinja's QuickBooks customers dataset exactly. Connect read-only, sync, and every field fills in with live data. No renaming needed.
Can I change the wording and formatting?
Completely. It's an ordinary Word document. Fonts, logo, layout, and tone are yours to edit; the merge only fills the field codes wherever you leave them.
Is the download really free?
Yes. No email required, no watermark. If you later want the letters filled in automatically for your whole customer list, that's what MergeNinja is for.
