Late invoice email template
The late invoice email is the most important email a freelancer will ever write quietly. Too nice and it gets ignored; too sharp and it costs you the relationship. This template walks a single rung at a time.
When to send it: Send this as your first touch, one day after the due date.

Hi {{client_name}},
This is a low-key note about invoice {{invoice_number}} for {{amount}}, due {{due_date}}.

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