Escrow Release After Acceptance Certificate Email Template

Use this page when project work, goods, or deliverables have already been accepted and the acceptance certificate is signed, but escrowed funds still have not been released. This is not the same as asking for ordinary final payment. The commercial issue is that the money is already held in a controlled release structure, yet the trigger that should unlock it appears complete without producing cash. Your email should ask whether the acceptance certificate has been received and logged, whether any escrow-release instruction is still missing, who controls the next release approval, and when the escrow balance will actually be transferred. The outcome you want is to move an accepted contract milestone into a real escrow release event. It is commercially strong because the supplier is no longer arguing about whether payment is due in principle; it is trying to enforce release of funds that were already set aside for this stage.
