Subject: Request for Credit Note to Record Reimbursement

Dear Francesca,

Thank you — we confirm receipt of the reimbursed amount. Our accounting department requires a credit note (or an equivalent document) to record the difference in amounts in our books. Could you please provide a credit note, or let us know if an alternative document would be acceptable?

I would greatly appreciate your assistance.

Kind regards,
[Your Name]
[Your Position]

Tip: If you want a slightly more urgent tone, add a line such as, "If possible, could we receive this document by [date]?"
