When to send a payment reminder email

Send when an invoice is overdue and a polite chase is still the right tone — before a formal demand.

What to include

Invoice or reference

Number, date, and what the work was.

Amount due

The outstanding figure, not a range.

Original due date

So it is clear the clock has passed.

How to pay

Bank details or a link, restated once.

Mistakes that weaken the letter

Sounding embarrassed

A reminder is normal. Keep it short.

No due date

Without it, 'overdue' is just an opinion.
