Explaining secure payment for a first deal

Use when
You require a secure payment method for a first order and want it to read as standard practice.

Tip: Say that you use the same method with every new partner. It is a policy, not a judgment about this partner.

Fill every field before you send. Remove any line that does not apply, rather than leaving a field empty. Adjust the greeting to the time of day where your partner is.

Fill in the details

Details you enter are remembered on this device for your next template.

The partner's title, for example Mr., Mrs., Dr., Engr., Barr., Chief or Alhaji.
The partner's surname. Use first names only after the partner invites you to.
The payment method, for example a confirmed letter of credit, escrow or staged payments.
Terms you are willing to discuss after a successful first order.
Your full name.
Your company name.

Subject: Payment arrangements for our first order

Dear {{PartnerTitle}} {{Surname}},

Thank you for confirming the order. As with all new partners, for our first transaction we use {{PaymentMethod}}. This protects both of our companies and is standard practice for us. Once we have completed a first order together, we will be glad to discuss {{FuturePaymentTerms}}.

Please let me know if you have any questions. I am happy to go through the steps with you on a call.

Kind regards,

{{MyName}}

{{MyCompany}}
