Hi {{Name}},

This is our third reminder regarding invoice #{{InvoiceNumber}} for {{Amount}}, originally due {{DueDate}}. Previous attempts to confirm payment have not received a specific date.

Please complete payment via {{PayLink}} or confirm the exact date payment will be released.

If we don’t have payment or a confirmation by {{DueDate}}, we’ll prepare to escalate internally.

Thank you,
{{YourName}}
{{Company}}
