Freelance invoice reminder email

A practical reminder flow for solo freelancers: confirm receipt, reference the invoice number, keep the tone calm, and ask for a payment date.

Checklist

Wait until the agreed due date has passed before sending the first reminder.
Include the invoice number, amount, original due date, and a short question about payment timing.
Keep the first message polite and short; assume the client may simply have missed it.
Save every reminder and reply with the original invoice record.

Draft practical follow-up wording without creating an account.
