do you mean a dollar sign? unless i'm missing something, depending on where
you get the rest of the sentence:

"We have been asked to contact you by our client 0, regarding your
past due invoice for $" & c8 & "."

Hi Krissy

It looks like you are importing the value from an Excel w/sheet into a
mailmerged document.

To have the value in the w/s appear as $x.xx you need to format the cell as
currency.
Right click the cell - format cells - currency - select symbol $ US - OK

That doesn't put the right format into a mailmerged document or a
concatenated formula, Russell.
You need the TEXT function in Excel, or in MS Word mailmerge you could use
Word's field formatting functions.
