You plan to send them all to the same person?

I think those are drafts which are meant to be templates for the company to be used to follow up on payments with creditors.

Refer to our previous letter reference.

I know this is a common way of starting a letter in Malaysia but is not proper.
I would write:

We refer to our letter ref. xxxx dated xxx.

Refer to our previous letter reference. GASB-ACC20180301 dated 01.03.2018, we have not yet received any payment as of today, the outstanding amount has been accumulating by late payment charges to RM165,478.70.

This should be split into three separate sentences. What is the idea of having all in one sentence?

You can't split two sentences with a comma (comma splice). Isn't it clearer to have separate sentences?

1. You can use of instead of amounting to.
2. for you further understanding - for your information
3. we have not [STRIKE]seen[/STRIKE] received any payment
4. The waiver of late charges is an incentive to settle the outstanding payment. It does not expedite the payment. It is for the creditor to act.

The OP said those forms are sent to "a debtor" thus prompting my question. Better would be:

These forms are sent to people who are behind on their payments.

Or:

These forms are sent to people who are late in paying their bills.

Or:

These forms are sent to people who haven't paid their bills on time.

Or:

These forms are sent to people who are in arrears.

:)
