Dear [Name],
It is with regret that as we have not heard back from you to our previous correspondence, throughout last Month and your Membership Payments remain overdue, we have no choice but to cancel your Membership here at [Business Name].
We have cancelled any further recurring billing for your subscription, but the money you owe is still outstanding against your name. Therefore, should you ever wish to join [Business Name] again at any time in the future, this may need to be settled before you are allowed entry. We may even insist on you paying upfront on an annual basis to avoid the above from happening again.
As you are no longer a member at [Business Name] you will not be able to attend the facility &/or book in for any activities until you re-join as a member and subject to our discretion pay what is due from the previous membership.
Should you wish to discuss this email please call us directly on 01234 567890 and ask to speak to the manager.
Yours sincerely
IMPORTANT NOTE
These are template ideas that can be easily adapted for your own use in your business. We would strongly recommend following the number of automated emails plus SMS messages as these in our experience tend to be the most successful way of keeping your members payments up to date.
