Hi {{Name}},

As we approach year-end close, wanted to confirm the status of invoice #{{InvoiceNumber}} (due {{DueDate}}) for {{Amount}}.

If payment is ready, here’s our link: {{PayLink}}. Please confirm by {{ReplyByDate}} that it’s scheduled.

Thanks,

Follow-up plan + common mistakes

If no reply in 48 hours, follow up quickly due to year-end deadlines
If they confirm payment, reply to thank and get the payment date
Don’t wait until the last week of December or you may miss the cut-off
Don’t copy general inboxes; target the AP contact directly
Don’t add new payment links in follow-ups unless requested

FAQ

Send 2-3 weeks before the client’s year-end close date for best results. Early December is a common window.
