A late-payment reminder prompts an overdue invoice politely before it becomes a dispute.

Copy this template

What to fill in

  • The invoice number and amount
  • The original due date
  • A polite assumption (not an accusation)
  • Your contact for remittance

Tips

Start friendly; escalate only if ignored.

Attach the invoice again — they may have lost it.

Keep the door open to avoid harming the relationship.

FAQ

When should I get firm?

After one or two polite reminders. Reference your terms and a clear final date before any further step.
