Subject: Reminder – Invoice {Invoice number}, due {Due date} Hi {First name}, Hope you're well. This is a friendly reminder that invoice {Invoice number} for {Amount} {Currency} is due on {Due date}. **Invoice details** - Invoice number: {Invoice number} - Issue date: {Issue date} - Due date: {Due date} - Amount: {Amount} {Currency} - Payment terms: {Net 30 / Net 60} - PDF: {Invoice URL} **Payment options** - Bank transfer (preferred): account details on the invoice - Credit card: {Payment portal URL} If the invoice has already been processed, please ignore this message and apologies for the duplicate note. If you need anything reissued (e.g., a different billing entity, an updated PO number), just let me know and I'll turn it around the same day. Who is the best person on your AP team for me to copy on payment-related questions going forward? Thanks, {Your name} {Title} | {Company}

Subject: Past due – Invoice {Invoice number} ({Days} days overdue) Hi {First name}, Following up on invoice {Invoice number} for {Amount} {Currency}, which was due on {Due date} and is now {Days} days past due. We haven't received payment yet and want to make sure nothing is blocked on our end. A few possibilities: 1. The invoice didn't reach the right approver — happy to resend or copy a different contact. 2. Something on the invoice needs correcting (PO number, billing entity, line item) — we can reissue same-day. 3. There's an internal approval delay — knowing the expected payment date helps us plan on our side. Could you let me know which applies, or share the AP contact who can give us a status? For reference, our payment terms ({Net 30 / Net 60}) are tied to our service continuity policy, and accounts more than {N} days overdue are escalated to our finance team for formal collection. I'd much rather resolve this directly with you. Looking forward to your response by {Target date}. Thanks, {Your name}
