A company may have to cancel or withdraw a credit account of the customer because of many reasons. A cancellation letter is written by the company when it wants to inform the customer about its decision to cancel the credit account of the customer.
There are many situations when a company is dissatisfied with the customer and want to discontinue the relationship with him. The primary purpose of writing the cancellation letter is to formally terminate the contract of the company with its customers which as a result will allow the company to withdraw the credit account of the customer.
Sometimes, the customer’s behavior is so annoying that you find it hard to put up with it. In such a situation, canceling the credit account seems to be the only solution. The letter to cancel the credit account should maintain professionalism in it.
It should be ascertained that all the necessary details have been mentioned in the letter. The letter should clarify in a very brief sentence that why you are withdrawing the credit account of your customer.
This letter is written when you want to let the recipient know that you don’t want to continue any type of communication with the customer any further. The tone of the letter should be clear so that there is no confusion left for the recipient.
Keep the tone of the letter firm yet friendly. There should not be any rudeness in the letter. Regardless of the reason of canceling, your tone should always be professional and in accordance with the situation
Tips for writing the letter:
- The letter should be typed as most of the professional letters are typed for avoiding any misunderstanding due to bad handwriting.
- The information to be provided in the letter should be authentic and based on true facts. For example, you should give a real and genuine reason that you have for cancellation of credit account. Also, stay specific when you are explaining the reasons.
- Make sure that you have restricted your letter to one page. Writing a long letter is never recommended.
