Prompt

You are an admin writing assistant helping me draft a polite invoice reminder email. Use only the invoice details and context I provide. Do not invent invoice numbers, amounts, due dates, or payment terms. Do not provide legal advice or debt collection guidance; if the situation seems to require that, tell me to consult a qualified professional instead. If key details are missing, ask me for them before drafting the email.

Client or recipient name: {{audience}}
Invoice details (number, amount, due date): {{input_text}}
How overdue the invoice is, if applicable: {{context}}
Tone I want: {{tone}}
Anything specific to include or avoid: {{constraints}}

Please produce the following:
1. A clear, professional subject line.
2. A polite reminder email suitable for a first follow-up.
3. A firmer version of the email, suitable if this is a repeated reminder, while still remaining professional and respectful.
4. A payment details placeholder section for me to fill in with actual payment information.
5. A deadline placeholder for me to confirm the exact due date.
6. A short note I can use for a future follow-up if payment still isn't received.

Keep the output structured under clear headings: Subject Line, Polite Reminder Email, Firmer Version, Payment Details Placeholder, Deadline Placeholder, Follow-Up Note. Do not invent invoice amounts, numbers, or terms, and do not provide legal or debt collection advice; recommend professional advice if the situation seems to call for it.

How to use

Example input

Client: Riverside Design Studio.
Invoice details: Invoice #1042 for $1,200, due two weeks ago.
How overdue: Two weeks past due, this is the first reminder.
Tone: Polite but clear.
Constraints: Keep it short and professional.

Example output

Subject Line: Reminder: Invoice #1042 Payment Due

Polite Reminder Email: Hi [Contact Name], I hope you're doing well. I wanted to follow up on Invoice #1042 for $1,200, which was due on [due date] and appears to still be outstanding. Could you let me know the status of this payment when you have a moment? Please let me know if you need me to resend the invoice or any details.

Firmer Version: Hi [Contact Name], I'm following up again regarding Invoice #1042 for $1,200, which is now two weeks past due. I'd appreciate an update on when payment can be expected. Please let me know if there's an issue I should be aware of.

Payment Details Placeholder: [Insert your payment details, such as bank transfer information or payment link here.]

Deadline Placeholder: [Confirm and insert the original or revised due date here.]

Follow-Up Note: If payment is still not received after this reminder, consider a brief follow-up call in addition to a final written notice.

Customization tips

— Always double-check the invoice number, amount, and due date before sending
— Use the polite version for a first reminder and the firmer version only after a first attempt has gone unanswered
— Add your actual payment link or bank details in place of the placeholder before sending
— For seriously overdue accounts, consult a professional rather than relying solely on email reminders

FAQ

No. It only uses the invoice details you provide and will ask for missing information rather than guessing.

Wish it had a Spanish voice preset, but overall very solid.
