Dear Mr. Joseph Stephen,
Thank you for your reminder. I regret to say that payment of your rent was delayed on account of unavoidable circumstances.
Please find enclosed a cheque for Rs. 400/-. This makes the payment of rent up to date.
Please acknowledge receipt.
Yours Faithfully

Dear Mr. Stephen,
My current financial commitments do not permit me to make full payment of the rent to you this month, but I will certainly try to clear that dues before the end of the next month.
I hope you would not mind the trouble.
Thanking You,
Yours Faithfully

Dear Mr. Stephen,
I am sorry to have troubled you, but it was on purpose that I withheld the payment of your rent. As I have repeatedly drawn your attention, repairs to my fiat have long fallen overdue. As you have not fulfilled your promise of effecting the repairs, I am myself planning to do the same and deduct the cost from the rent payable.
Hope you would appreciate my difficulties and approve of this arrangement.
Thanking You,
Yours Faithfully
Shyam Malhotra
