This Balance Owing email should be used on the odd occasion when your company has paid a bill but the other company is still reporting it as unpaid!
There can be a lot of reasons for this and this template should get people looking for an answer. It should also garner a few "yuks" along the way.
A sense of humor goes a long way to lightening up a serious situation.
Here is a free business email with a sense of humor.
Use it if your company has a sense of humor and you suspect that the other company may like a little light humor as well.
(Be careful though. Many people in business take it very seriously and may not appreciate your sense of humor. I've actually had people tell me that, "business is serious" and they don't want to take it lightly! The biggest sale I ever made however was to a major glass company and the presentation was based on a cartoon character calendar! Sometimes humor works very well.)
