Sorry mate the text doesn't make sense.

You are thanking them for paying online, but they owe the money.

I would say something like this mate..

Dear Customer,

Please note your window cleaning bill is now due for payment, and needs to be settled as soon as possible.

You can do this online via BACS, immedialty and quickly for your conveneicnece. (spelling I know...)

Kind Regards

Dear customer, Just a gentle reminder that payment for your last window clean is outstanding. Regards, Steve.

I send them out in batches. It feels less personal.

for those that pay online on a regular basis but may be a little slow i send this first

"Dear customer your windows have been cleaned today,xxxxx
We look forward to receiving your payment by BACS.
Regardsxxxxxxx"

I normally send this to people who are out, work abroad or just need the extra prompt, as well has the completion slip we leave.

Then after say 5 days.

"Dear customer there appears to be an outstanding balance of £xxx for your window cleaning dated xxxx.
If payment as been made please accept our apologies
Regards xxxx"
