Hi {{Name}},

Invoice #{{InvoiceNumber}} for {{Amount}} was due {{DueDate}} and is still unpaid.

Without a confirmed date, we will move to the next escalation step after this notice.

Follow-up plan + common mistakes

If no reply in 2 business days, call and repeat the date request
If they give a date, repeat it back to confirm
If vague response, don’t reset—ask for the date again
Don’t threaten—focus on schedule and documentation
Don’t send repeated long explanations; one clear message is enough
