Invoice chase scripts
Three emails that get unpaid invoices paid without burning the relationship. Free — share with other freelancers.
Script 1 — Friendly nudge (3–5 days after due)
Hi [Name],
Quick check-in on invoice #[INV] for [project] — due [date] for $[amount]. Happy to resend the PDF or payment link if it got buried.
Thanks,
[You]
Script 2 — Firm second chase (+7 days)
Hi [Name],
Following up: invoice #[INV] ($[amount]) is now [X] days past due. Please confirm payment date this week so I can keep [deliverable / next milestone] on schedule.
Payment link: [link]
Best,
[You]
Script 3 — Final notice (before pause work)
Hi [Name],
Invoice #[INV] remains unpaid. I’ll pause new work on [project] after [date] until payment clears. If there’s a blocker on your side, reply with a payment date and I’ll hold the pause.
[You]
