Did this slip through? (free late payment email template + follow-up calendar)

Three days late. No reply. You don't want to sound desperate, and you don't want to wait another week.

This is the email for that day, written out in full. It is template 03 of the Late Payment Kit, and it is free.

Subject: Invoice [#1042]: did this slip through?

Hi [First name],

I haven't seen payment for invoice [#1042] ([£1,250], due [14 March]) yet. These things slip through all the time, so here it is again.

Could you let me know when I can expect it?

Thanks,

[Your name]

It assumes the client forgot, which is usually true. It gives them a face-saving way to answer. And it ends on a question about a date, not a demand for money.
