Dear Sir / Madam,

Your friend owes a contractual performance obligation to the party who has transferred the money to your A/c. I hope you have taken a receipt from your friend for the money you have given him as proof that you have not retained or used the money yourself. Give your friend 3 days to resolve the matter with the party, failing which you should report the matter to the Police.

Regards,
