OT: EN>FR Could someone edit my claim for payment ?

May 6, 2010

Dear listmates,

I need your help. The accountant of one of my Israelian clients is

making troubles. I tried to prepare in English a reply to her 2

messages. Is there here any good soul who could be so kind to edit my

draft ? I tried to keep in English the " authoritarian " and menacing tone

I want to have (and would have in such circumstances) in French, but my

English is not so good :-)

Thanks a million in advance for your help

Madame,

Vous m'avez transmis à deux reprises les 4 et 5 mai la copie d'un e-mail

destiné au PM XX, précisant : " One of the PO's for this invoice is

missing. Please check. Thanks. "

Veuillez noter que j'ai effectué le travail qui m'a été commandé par

cette personne (qui plus est, en urgence !). Quoiqu'il en soit, tout

ceci relève de votre cuisine interne et ne me concerne aucunement.

Ma facture réf. zzz en date du 19 mars 2010 est exigible depuis le 20

avril, et aurait donc dû m'être payée il y a 17 jours. Sachez que

j'interprète toutes ces gesticulations comme des manoeuvres dilatoires

et malhonnêtes. Par conséquent, J'EXIGE le paiement immédiat de la somme

de xxx Euros qui m'est due. Si cette somme n'apparaît pas au crédit de

mon compte lundi 10 mai 17h (heure française) au plus tard, j'avertirai

tous les sites professionnels de la situation et prendrai les mesures

légales nécessaires.

Salutations

Madame,

You forwarded me twice, i.e. on May 4th and May 5th, copy of your e-mail

to the Project Manager XX, stating " One of the PO's for this invoice is

missing. Please check. Thanks " . Please note that I have done the work

that this person ordered to me (furthermore, in emergency!).

Nevertheless, all this is only cooking up and should not have any impact

on me. My invoice ref zzz, dated March 19th 2010 is now overdue since

April 20th, i.e.payment is already 17 jours late. Please be aware that I

interpret all these gesticulations as stonewalling and dishonesty. In

consequence, I insist on an immediate payment of the Euros xxx due. If

this amount is not credited on my bank account on next Monday May 10th,

2010, before 05:00 PM (French time) at the latest, I'll immediately take

all necessary legal measures and will inform all my colleagues of the

situation, putting a warning against your company on each and all

professional sites and mailing-lists.

Sincerely
