Yes, I definitely want to stop making it my friend's problem, and I'm not worried if it's fair on the boss. I am planning to email him, not to send a letter. Sorry if that wasn't clear on my post.
You make a good case for calling first, but I don't think writing is a cop out - I will have a record of the correspondence, it gives him the option of just transferring the money and replying "done", and there's less risk of saying something I'll regret (which is unlikely, but still). After this, for sure I won't let him off the phone before he agrees a payment date.
- jodrellblank 16y agoI didn't pick up that it was email, but if it's only email then it should necessitate much less worry - take ErrantX's template and do it now! ( perhaps without the bit about being a student - I wouldn't put that in personally either as it's not his concern, but I also think that worrying about that is one example of where i would be worrying to the point of delaying or avoiding sending it and wonder if that applies to you as well. That line isn't going to make a world changing difference if you leave it in or not, so if using the template as-is makes it easier to send the email then use it as is).
