Document background
The Polite Demand Letter is a crucial document in UAE business practice, serving as a formal yet diplomatic first step in debt recovery. It is typically used when payment is overdue but the creditor wishes to maintain a professional relationship with the debtor. The document must comply with UAE Federal Laws, particularly the Civil Code and Commercial Transactions Law, and should be drafted in a way that it can serve as evidence in legal proceedings if necessary. It includes specific details about the debt, payment history, and clear payment instructions while maintaining a tone that respects local business customs. This type of document is particularly important in the UAE context, where business relationships are highly valued and aggressive collection tactics may be counterproductive.
