- Clarity wins: invoice number + action + payment date.
- Avoid spam triggers: ALL CAPS, too many exclamation marks, gimmicks.
- Keep it short (6–10 words) when possible.
- If sensitive, skip the amount and include the invoice number instead.
- Match your tone to the stage: friendly → firm → final.
