As of today, I have not received payment for the aforementioned period. The total gross amount owed to me is $[Amount]. According to my employment contract and local labor laws, wages must be paid no later than [Due Date].
Please consider this a formal notice. If the full amount of $[Amount] is not deposited into my account within [Number, e.g., 7] days of the date of this letter, I will be forced to take further action, which may include:

I hope to resolve this matter amicably and look forward to receiving confirmation of payment.
