States which invoice is outstanding. 2. Mentions the due date factually. 3. Asks for payment or a clear update. 4. Leaves room for the possibility that payment has already been sent or there is a genuine issue. 5. Includes the next practical step I supplied. Do not invent late fees, contractual rights, legal threats or escalation steps. If I want a firmer reminder, make the wording firmer without adding consequences I have not confirmed.
