Hi [Client Name],

I am checking in on invoice [invoice number], which is currently outstanding.

To keep the project on schedule, I need the invoice brought current before I continue with [next work].

Please send payment or confirm the payment date by [date]. Once it is handled, I will resume the next step.

Thanks,

[Your Name]

When to use it

• An invoice is past due and the client is asking for more work.
• A milestone payment is required before the next phase.
• You need to pause delivery without sounding emotional or punitive.

Mistakes to avoid

• Continuing work while hoping payment arrives.
• Sending a vague reminder without a due amount or next action.
• Using shame or threats before a clean operational pause.

Build the exact message

Templates are useful, but the details a real client cares about matter: the client name, original scope, new request, tone, payment boundary, deadline, and written approval step. ScopeSaver turns those details into an email, short text version, change-order summary, exclusions, approval CTA, and pushback follow-up.
