Dear …

RE: Paycheck Error – Check #__(#)__ - Amount __($amount)__

On __date)__, __(name of organization)__ issued, in error, a payment to you in the amount of __($amount)__. Our investigation has revealed to us that the correct amount that was due to you, representing your __(outstanding commissions/vacation pay/etc)__, __(was already been remitted to you/should have been in the amount of $amount)__. As the payment of __($amount)__ was clearly an error, it must be returned to us as quickly as possible. We request that you kindly remit __($amount)__ to __(name of organization)__, attention __(name of person/dep’t)__, as quickly as possible.
