How to use

Copy/paste template

Hi {{Name}},

Welcome back! Wanted to check the status of invoice #{{InvoiceNumber}} for {{Amount}}, which was outstanding before the office break.

Here’s the pay link: {{PayLink}}.

Can you confirm if it’s queued for this week’s payment run? And is there a new contact handling AP post-break?

Thanks for your help.

Best,
{{YourName}}

Follow-up plan + common mistakes

If still no reply within 48 hours, phone follow-up is warranted
Don’t recap the whole payment history—reference only recent status
Reply to thank as soon as you get an update
Don’t assume same AP personnel post-holiday—always confirm
Keep message short to respect AP’s catch-up workload

FAQ

Usually the first morning after reopening—avoid weekends or holidays themselves for best response.
