+Dear <%=name%>,
+
+This is an automated email sent from our payment system.
+
+We haven't noticed a payment from you in over a month, and if we
+do not within 7 days your membership will be automatically suspended, and your
+door access will be disabled.
+
+We last received a payment from you on <%=date%>.
+
+If you believe we are warning you in error, please reply to this
+email with the date, amount, and reference of your most recent payment,
+and we'll look into it.
+
+If you've changed bank account or want to confirm our payment details and
+your reference you can find them on our web site:
+
+https://london.hackspace.org.uk/members/
+
+Alternatively if you are cancelling your membership we'd be very
+interested to hear any feedback you have about why you've cancelled your
+membership, or how we can improve London Hackspace - just hit reply and
+let us know.
+
+If you're still storing anything in the space, please arrange to remove
+it as soon as possible, otherwise we will have to dispose of it to free
+up space for other members to use.
+
+Thanks,
+
+The London Hackspace trustees
