## Chasing an Unpaid Invoice Write a follow-up email chasing an unpaid invoice. - Client: [text: Name or company] - Amount: [text: For example 2400] - How overdue: [dropdown: A few days, Two weeks, A month, More than 60 days] - Chase number: [dropdown: One, Two, Three, I have lost count] - Invoice number and due date: [text: Both if known] Keep it short, warm and free of grovelling. Match the firmness to the chase number: the first assumes an oversight, the second asks whether anything is blocking payment, the third states the next step plainly. State the amount and invoice reference, make payment easy by pointing to how to pay, and end with a specific date by which payment is expected. For over 60 days, mention that late fees or pausing work may follow if the agreement allows it. Return a subject line and a body under 120 words.
