Invoice chaser email template

Chasing invoices is the least favorite chore in freelancing. A structured chaser — four touches, spaced out, escalating gently — collects more money and keeps more friends.

When to send it: The full chase: day 1, day 7, day 14, day 21.

If something needs changing, reply here — I'll sort it today. Otherwise I've marked {{invoice_number}} for settlement.

Copy-paste works once. Overdue re-drafts this template in your voice for every client — and walks the whole ladder on its own: day 1, 7, 14, 21.
