First overdue invoice reminder
Subject: Quick check-in on invoice [number]
Hi [client name],
Just a quick check-in on invoice [number] for [amount], which was due on [date]. Could you confirm that it reached the right person and let me know the expected payment date?
If you need another copy or there is anything I should correct, I’m happy to help.
Thank you,
[Your name]
Why this email works
It is brief, identifies the invoice, gives the client an easy way to surface an administrative problem, and asks for a concrete date rather than a vague update.
What to include
- Invoice number and outstanding amount
- Original due date
- A direct request for the expected payment date
- An offer to resend or correct the invoice
Keep the first reminder neutral. A missing attachment, approval delay, or accounts-payable issue may be responsible. Save firmer language for later follow-ups.
