  Explanation !

a. Letter of payment is a letter that accompanies a payment for a product or service previously acquired. The letter of payment specifies whom the payment is from and what the payment is for. Request of payment letter is used to ask for customers from big company or personal in order to pay the bills or a debt because the delay of payment.

Surat pembayaran adalah surat yang menyertai pembayaran untuk produk atau layanan yang diperoleh sebelumnya. Surat pembayaran menentukan dari siapa pembayaran tersebut dan untuk apa pembayaran tersebut. Permintaan surat pembayaran digunakan untuk meminta pelanggan dari perusahaan besar atau pribadi untuk segera membayar tagihan atau utang karena keterlambatan pembayaran.

b. Why i choose this type? Actually, the reason is simple. Firstly, i pick business letter of payment because in my class (3EB08) to got this type from 16 types, we must get one randomly. I'm so sorry if i too honest but that's the fact and i think it's fair :) and also, if you want to request a payment from someone or else, writing a letter is a good way especially for big company. As accounting student, kind of this letter is very suitable because it is associated with the transaction of payment. One of them is the payment containing about the delay in the payment or due date. Therefore, letter of payment can help us to knowing the real reports of sales or purchase transaction and if we found a mistakes, we can get asking for a request letter.
