IOU

Here is a letter I wrote to W on this date. It was in response to her telling me how much money she still owes me.

W,

Thank you for getting back to me on this issue.
At this time, I am choosing not to ask you for the money back until after your current transitional period is over. I understand that you will probably be going through yet another difficult period in your career, employment, money and possibly housing now that you have quit massage work.
First, I would like to support you in the changes you are making.
Second, I do not want you to be able to blame me if something goes wrong.
My only request is that you inform me when you think you are in comfortable space to be able to pay me back.
I wish you all the best of luck and success.

E
