Hi {{Name}},

I’m following up on invoice #{{InvoiceNumber}} for {{Amount}}, due {{DueDate}}. Can we set up a 5–10 minute call to confirm payment timing?

If payment can be made now, you can use this link: {{PayLink}}.

Let me know your availability or if you prefer to resolve by email.

Thanks,

FAQ
