Use this template when a client has missed the due date and you need a short, professional follow-up.
Late payment email
Subject: Late payment follow-up - Invoice {invoice}
Hi {client},
I am following up because invoice {invoice}, for {amount}, is now past due.
Could you please confirm when payment will be processed? If you need the invoice or payment details resent, I can send them again.
Best regards,
{your_name}
Why this works
The message is direct without sounding aggressive. It asks for a payment date and gives the client an easy way to resolve the delay.
