Subject: Payment follow-up - Invoice RET-2026-005
Hi {client},
I am following up on invoice RET-2026-005 for EUR 750, related to monthly retainer.
The monthly retainer invoice is overdue and future work depends on keeping the account current. Could you please confirm payment today so the retainer can continue without interruption?
If you need the invoice or payment details resent, let me know and I will send them again.
Best regards,
{your_name}
